Château Olivier 2024

Medium-deep ruby in the glass. Subdued nose with lactic and yeasty hints over a core of dark fruit. On the palate, it’s fresh and refined, with polished, precise tannins lending a gentle structure. Not highly concentrated, but balanced and elegant, with a clean finish and moderate length.

49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Bright red fruit with an almost citrus edge. Light to medium weight. Tannins finely honed. Fresh and digestible on the finish. (JL)
