The second wine of the excellent Pomerol estate, Château Séraphine. 100% Merlot, the 2018 vintage shows great levity, purity and verticality especially on the nose. Discover fresh ripe dark fruit flavours of blackberries, black cherries and figs with hints of spice, mocha and some savoury notes. There is also a nice persistence, with the same vertical presence on the palate, together with aromas of fresh black tea and a lovely nuttiness of walnuts and almonds, with just the slightest hint of frangipane and patisserie. This is a deeply impressive wine with interesting terroir notes that are very precise and focussed. Soft and refined tannins.
