Chateau Citran Haut-Medoc / 2016 / 75cl

The 2016 vintage opens with a refined nose of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and a touch of cedar, underscored by graphite and hints of violet. There's a gentle smokiness from its oak aging, seamlessly integrated rather than showy.
On the palate, it strikes a poised balance between structure and charm. The Cabernet Sauvignon delivers firm yet ripe tannins, while Merlot adds flesh and softness. Juicy blackberry and cassis flavours unfold with nuances of tobacco leaf and crushed stone. The acidity is well-measured, lending freshness and longevity to the wine’s medium-bodied frame.
The finish is long and graceful, echoing dark fruit, savoury spice, and a trace of mocha. It's a wine with quiet confidence—still youthful, but showing enough complexity now to reward those who uncork it, while promising several more years of elegant evolution.
