Note di degustazione
The 2021 Château Plince checks in as 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc that was harvested between September 25 and the October 6. A fleshy, up-front, charming effort with lots of redcurrant and almost blackberry-like fruits, it offers medium-bodied richness as well as a round, nicely balanced mouthfeel and ripe, powdery tannins. It picks up more tobacco and iron notes with time in the glass and is going to benefit from just a few years in the cellar.

The 2021 Plince has much more fruit concentration on the nose than the Plincette, delivering black cherries, cassis and violet aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry, offering quite robust tannins that dominate the midpalate, and good density, even if it lacks some grace and finesse on the herbaceous finish. Just a bit gawky.
The 2021 Plince comes across as dried out and lacking in mid-palate presence as well as freshness. That's a shame, as the aromatics are suggestive of a more compelling wine. Let's see what élevage brings.
