The 2016 Chateau Alcee has a deep, expressive olfaction with aromas of cherries, cinnamon, ginger, nuances of floral notes and blackberries. The attack is very velvety to silky, the middle of the mouth is ample and spherical, with a well formed flesh, embellished with greedy spicy fruits.

The finish is persistent, stretched, fresh, the tannins are a touch chalky (powdery). It is enhanced by intense fruits, sweet spices, and notes of violets, punctuated by a small bitterness.
