2019 Château D'Agassac

Blackberries, bark, graphite and walnut husk on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that are well integrated. Seamless and flavorful. Drink after 2022.

Mostly Merlot, the ruby/purple-hued 2019 Château D'Agassac offers a solid, intense bouquet of both red and black fruits as well as sappy herbs, flowers, and cedar pencil. Nicely balanced on the palate, it's medium-bodied, has a good mid-palate, the vintage's fresh, elegant style, and solid length on the finish. It's borderline outstanding and well worth following over the coming 8-10 years or so. (04/2022)

Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 d'Agassac is deep garnet-purple colored. It comes bounding out with bold notions of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and wild blueberries, plus hints of underbrush and cumin seed. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft and juicy with a spicy kick to the finish. (08/2022)

Aromas of rose petals, plums, orange rind and smoky berries introduce the 2019 D'Agassac, a medium-bodied, lively and nicely balanced wine that's elegantly fleshy and seamless. It's an attractive middleweight from this Haut-Médoc property on the rise. - William Kelley (10/2022)
