Chateau La Croix Romane, Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux, 2024

Smells pretty and inviting - perfumed blackcurrant scents, smells fresh and juicy. Quite high acidity makes the mouth water and gives this lift from start to finish. Quite a straight style but nicely balanced with pleasing summer berry flavours of strawberry and red cherry. This has a really easy drinking quality with juicy fruit and a balanced overall character. Has some personality without being overdone ending with a lively, stony mineral finish.
