Taste: leather, tobacco and cinnamon in the taste. Rather sweet. Round and quite soft. The tannins were more resolved than with my last bottle, but were still a bit drying, especially when drunk on its own at day four. Then also the alcohol was a bit burning. Already showing some nice complexity, but to my taste this wine now is only entering its drinking window. I will open my next bottle not before 2025 or 2026. Looking forward to that because this wine really seems promising. Potentially 90+. (494 views)

Very good. Big modern style still has lots of fruit but you can taste the age as well. Excellent for the price. (376 views)

2019 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is fresh, aromatically expressive and delicately spiced. The bottle is sealed with a DIAM-30 cork. The developing Castillon Bordeaux blend is clear and deep ruby in colour. The wine requires an hour of gentle in-bottle aeration to open up. Aromas of blackberry, violet and mint are followed by coffee, tobacco leaf, potting soil and a hint of blood.

The dry and full-bodied mouthfeel is complemented with relatively high levels of acidity and grainy tannin. There are flavours of bramble, red plum, dark chocolate and mushroom in a medium, gently spiced finish. The 14.5% alcohol is well-concealed. The empty bottle weighs 589 grams.

The wine is composed of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc. The vines are grown on clay and limestone soil. The must is fermented in temperature-controlled wooden and concrete vats for 35 days, with regular punching down to promote extraction. The wine is raised in 30% new oak barrels for sixteen months.

Pretty nose with more emphasis on red than black fruit. More harmonious than last time but still not completely in balance. Oak still shows, acidity seems a bit too harsh. Good but not great. (883 views)
