DESMIR19
A red with red berries and currants and some chocolate and hazelnuts. It’s medium-to full-bodied with ripe, savory tannins. Serious this year.

Denis Lurton's estate is one of the lower-profile classified growths in Margaux, but one that deserves to be taken notice of, with quiet appellation signature and plenty of restrained elegance. This is a slow burn, opening carefully to show gentle grilled coffee bean notes, deepening the blackberry and bilberry fruits. Fine tannins and fresh acidities give great balance overall.

The 2019 Desmirail is subtle on the nose, after coaxing offering redcurrant, blackberry and briary scents, undergrowth and fern emerging with time, never powerful but more discrete. The palate is sweet and sappy on the entry, hints of dark chocolate infusing the mainly red fruit that becomes blacker towards the finish. Maybe I am seeking a bit more...ambition on the finish, but maybe it is saving something up for later.
