Haut-Médoc

Intense colour here deep ruby-red core, but nothing really blue or purple. So it is starting to fade a little bit at the rim, indicating a certain evolution. Quite classic nose here with dark fruity aromas, cassis, plum, with some herbal notes as well. Some leafy notes like bay leaf, tobacco, quite laid-back oak, just a hint of vanilla. Dense structure here, with nice dark fruit. Still appearing a bit youthful in terms of tannins. There is plenty of extract here, but good freshness, good balance. The tannins are not really hard, just present. I like those slightly spicy and herbal notes, like sage, bay leaf, mint. The wine has got a good length, it keeps lingering. So I would say good material, still a bit youthful in terms of the texture, but should be good material to further cellar.

Sommelier

The color is matured with a brownish edge. The nose is fruity with blackcurrants, plums and sweet cherries. There is also dried meat, dry forest floor and some wood. It is complex and appealing. The palate is medium-bodied, fruity and medium-acidic. The tannins are noticeable but well integrated. The finish is medium long and complex. It is very fine to drink now, but can also be aged for another 10 years.

Expert

Rød på farge, lys vanndig kant. 
På duft finner vi solbær, søt lakris, lær, mørk sjokolade, vanilje og integrert eik. 
Medium kropp, høy syre og god lengde. 
En balansert fin vin som tåler mange flere år på langs. 

Certified Sommelier

Deep garnet-purple colored. Offers faint scents of stewed red plums and strawberries with wafts of rhubarb and dried herbs. The light-bodied palate is a touch lean with lightly chewy tannins and a refreshing finish.

Medium to full intensity ruby red colour, raspberry and red cherry fruits, shot through with plenty of sinewy tannings on the opening, but loses momentum through the palate. This is a well-located estate with so much potential but struggles here to fully deliver on promise.

Inside Bordeaux

A paintbrush of inky colours, and this is a good vintage for Citran, with mocha, liquorice and fresh mint character, along with damson fruits, and Left Bank signature. The tannins have the vintage fingerprint, and close in sharply on the close of play, but it will soften with ageing; and this is charming.

The 2021 Citran has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It offers notes of dried herbs and red cherries, with touches of raspberry coulis and mossy tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate has a good intensity of red berry and savory layers, with lightly chewy tannins and a lifted finish.

The 2020 Citran is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up suggestions of cedar and baking spices, over a cassis and black raspberries inspired core. Medium-bodied, the palate is delicate and refreshing, with a chewy texture and a savory finish.

Duft av mørke bær, bjørnebær, plomme. Myke tanniner 🍷 Nydelig til entrecôte med bearnaise 👌🏻

Enda fin og fruktig, men avslipt. Spent på å se hvordan den aldres frem mot 2030.

Mørk rød farge. Lukter kirsebær og litt lær. Smaker modne epler og mørke bær. Savner litt fruktighet og syre. 

Modne sorte plommer, kaffe, Annis, søte moreller

Moden fyldig frukt, fortsatt primærfrukt, avslipte tanniner, lang og fin utgang 

Ruby red with a garnet rim. Delicate nose with blueberries, blackcurrant, cassis and leather. Fresh acidity. Seductive mouthfeeling. Very juicy with cherries, licorice, blueberries and spice. Nice balance and structure. Long.
