Château La Clide – 2011- Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Red wine with medium towards deep ruby-red colour. Fine nose, with some evolution there. Starting to display some hints of tobacco, leather, spices wild berries and quite discreet touch of oak. Palate has a good density and weight and a little bit more than medium weight. Good degree of freshness as well; backing up that sweet wild berry fruit. Fine dose of spiciness as well on the finish. Gentle touch of oak, but more on that fruit driven side. Still, with a slightly tannic sensation on the finish, but with a slight aeration I would call it perfectly drinkable today. However, a wine that will certainly gain more complexity from further ageing.
