Vieux Château Palon – 2013 – Montagne Saint Emilion

Youthful colour, dark inky core, purple-blue. Attractive nose, lots of primary fruit here. Blackberry, dark plum, cassis. With a quite mild oakiness. Good purity of fruit. A slight hint of minerality. Nice palate. It is obviously a wine that appears, that is, quite young. Lots of primary fruit on the nose and on the palate as well. This is a quite soft extraction. It gets a lift from the tannin presence. Good freshness and acidity. Quite long finish, but I like it as it feels loosely textured, with a good drinkability. Fairly open right now, nothing harsh or angular. Really attractive with plenty of ripe fruit. It should offer pleasure now or in the coming five to six years.
