Note di degustazione
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Les Trois Croix leaps from the glass with notions of Morello cherries, black raspberries and boysenberries plus wafts of lavender, Ceylon tea and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating red and black fruit preserves with ripe, rounded tannins and a refreshing lift to the finish.

The 2017 Les Trois Croix has a generous bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and scorched earth aromas, becoming more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, a superb line of acidity and a sublime, quite mineral-driven finish that is pure class. This comes highly recommended.
Cassis, plum, chocolate, and hints of licorice all emerge from the 2017 Chateau Les Trois Croix, and this ripe, medium-bodied, plump, and textured Fronsac offers loads of pleasure. It's nicely balanced, has good purity, and should keep for at least 7-8 years. It's worth seeking out.
The 2017 Les Trois Croix initially felt a little overdone on the nose like one or two of its Fronsac brethren. That said, it seems to “calm down” in the glass and attain more definition. The palate shows more composure with supple tannin, well judged acidity and a precise, detailed finish that bodes well for the future. The more this aerates, the more composed and refined it becomes. This is a muscular yet paradoxically, refined Fronsac from Patrick Léon.
