Château Citran - Haut-Médoc 2015

Vinifera

Robe sombre. Nez expressif, fruité. Entrée en bouche douce qui évolue sur un profil assez charnu. Texture agréable, mais la finale, avec un tanin statique, offre un développement limité.

An easy drinking, light, Haut Medoc, with crisp, correct, blackberry and red plum notes that will be best in its youth.

The 2015 Citran has a reticent nose, tightly wound at the moment with broody, earthy black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin shrouded by attractive red berry fruit, a dash of white pepper and impressive structure towards the fresh, saline finish. This is a well-crafted Citran that should end up at the top-end of my score band. Drink 2020-2035

Some florality over vigorous black fruits. Always a little tough at the start but will show better with age.

The 2015 Citran is hearty and a bit rough around the edges, with good fruit intensity but four-square, chunky tannins that give the wine its distinctly rustic personality.

Mid crimson. Racy and aromatic. Pretty dry and salty on the end. Very juicy. But far from opulent.

Barrel Sample. This is a fresh wine, with dusty tannins and attractive tones of spicy black currant. It's already well balanced, with a smoky character from the judicious wood aging. 90 points
