Château D’Hanteillan – 2013 – Haut Médoc Cru Bourgeois

Red wine with a medium towards deep colour, still youthful, but with a certain evolution on the rim. Quite fruit-driven on the nose, more primary fruit here; still youthful, displaying notes of freshly crushed berries. There’s a hint of roasted wood but not too much, rather again on the fruity side. The palate is showing medium weight, still very youthful with a pronounced acidity, youthful tannin, more with red fruity notes like sour red cherry, some notes of cranberry. Oak is well settled there, finish is medium towards long; but it’s still a wine which is appearing very youthful and certainly should need some more time to round off the edges and gain some more complexity.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
