Château d’Aiguilhe 2021

A combination of ripe summer fruits on the nose with some smoked earth and chalky aromas. Lovely energy here, the red fruit – strawberry, raspberry and red cherry stops just short of being tart – it has this delicious crunchy almost sour flavour before settling revealing the chalky mid-palate. Tannins are fine but give soft support balancing the elements and driving the flavours from start to finish. So much joy drinking this wine with the terroir showing through and giving the textural elements which are so appealing. I like this a lot. Drinking Window: 2023-2029. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
