Dark and alluring, the 2018 Chateau Alcée from Castillon is a modern, plush Bordeaux from winemaker Nicolas Thienpont. Sporting a sensual nose of boysenberry, plum, anise and black truffle, the palate is supple and generous with rich flavours of dark chocolate and coffee liqueur. The finish is quite dry with a tug of graphite and a touch of heat. I paid £22 for this wine though it’s significantly less expensive en primeur, and I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed with a case in the cellar.

Deep rich color. Thick long lasting legs. Earthy bouquet with leather and coffee notes. Very drinkable. Chocolate and leather notes with an earthy finish. Very nice wine. More please!

Прекрасное вино, очень ароматное, лучше декантировать. На вкус умеренное во всем, очень приятное на запах, многослойное.
