Lots of blueberry, chocolate and burnt-orange character. It’s full-bodied and tannic. Intense and muscular. One of the best in a long time.

The 2019 Croizet-Bages was picked from 18 September to 10 October and will mature for 12 months in 50% new oak. It is high-toned on the nose with bold blackberry and boysenberry fruit, though it doesn't have the complexity of the best Pauillac in this vintage. Hold on a minute though, because the palate compensates with some lovely graphite-tinged black fruit, fine tannins and a harmonious, classic Pauillac finish. Overall, not bad at all.
A lovely sappy, savoury character to the fruit, with softly expressed blackberry and raspberry. Smoked cedar and black pepper add interest and depth, with exotic spices showing traces of the warm summer, and there is a good kick through the finish. Medium-term drinking. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038
