Château Puisseguin La Rigodrie – 2015 – Puisseguin Saint-Emilion

Youthful and bright colour with a purple hue. Dark intense ruby core. Fine nose. Intense fruitiness there with high ripeness. With dark fruit, dark plum, wild berries. Quite discreet hint of wood, just a touch of leather and tobacco as well. Good grip on the palate full-bodied. With quite high level of fine tannin. So good extract in here. Some notes of bitter chocolate, coco powder, paired with that dark juicy fruit. With notes of rather plum and blackberry. Vital freshness as well. So well-integrated acidity. Long and lingering on the finish. Yeah, really delicious dark fruit here. A wine that still appears very youthful. It should open within the coming year or so. Nothing sharp or angular. A bit of youth shining through. Should certainly have the potential for an ageing for another eight to ten years. Good length, good finish, good components.
