Strong garnet color, red disk. Smoky and toasty notes dominate the nose evolving towards small red fruit, especially kirsch cherries. A sound body structured by well-balanced, full and very fleshly tannins. Aromas of cherry and small bramble fruit. The finish provides a lovely freshness that gives an airy quality to the wine. It is a very pleasant wine dominated by fruit and freshness.

Both the tannins and the wood aging flavors are strongly evident in this wine at this stage. But with the intense black-currant fruit and the acidity, it is going to be a ripe while also structured wine. The estate dates to the 14th century. Drink from 2020.

The 2014 Castera has an airy, well defined and attractive bouquet with lifted red cherries, wild strawberry and rose petal aromas. The oak is neatly integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, and then the second half feels very curmudgeonly and structured with a bitter note on the aftertaste. This Cru Bourgeois had started so well! Tasted September 2016.
