Description

2019 Les Aubaguetes is defined by dark, spicy blackberry fruit which initially presents in a very intense, focused manner. This in no way prepares the palate for the explosion of sweet berry fruit that follows as pure liquid comes across in waves. There is a liquorice edge to this as the wine runs across the palate with an earthy hint behind and a real edge to keep it grounded. Ultra-fine tannins provide an incredibly subtle but nonetheless resilient structure, yet these just evaporate on the concentrated and resolutely long finish. This is seriously impressive.

Drink 2022 - 2040
