Blackcurrants, spices and blueberries with some lead pencil on the nose. Medium body with fine tannins that are polished and pretty. Nice finish. Not the most structured 2019, but very attractive and well crafted.

Displaying a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Croizet-Bages comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of Morello cherries, black raspberries, redcurrant jelly and cassis plus hints of chocolate mint and wild thyme. Medium to full-bodied, the palate really packs a wallop of vibrant fruit, supported by firm, grainy tannins and loads of zing, finishing on a lingering minty note. Yum!

The 2019 Croizet-Bages is a dark, fleshy Pauillac. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, tobacco and smoke give this hearty, medium to full-bodied wine a good deal of complexity. There are some rough edges, but also plenty to like. Croizet-Bages is a wine of substance that will blossom at the dinner table.
