Premium Bordeaux 2019 Assemblage Zoom tasting. Drank in Grassl 1855. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of blue fruit, boysenberries, red plum, cherry licorice, youthful spice. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), soft ripe high tannins, just about full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet cherry licorice, red plums, boysenberries, sweet baking spices. Sweet little spicy long finish. Very soft structure and doesn't feel like it needs many years. Good drinking already actually in a youthful way. 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.

Flowers, cherries, espresso and dark chocolate crowd into the perfume seeking attention. The wine is rich, opulent, multi-layered and opulent, with a finish loaded with espresso, cocoa and dusty black plums. Give it a bit of time in the cellar to develop and become better integrated with its oaky nuances. Drink from 2024-2040.

Deeply colored, the wine offers black and blue fruit, plum, cherry, smoke, licorice and a hint of truffle in the nose. Silky, fresh and energetic, with lush textures, ripe tannins, sweet fruits and cocoa on the palate. This is going to be great with 5 or more years of cellaring. 93-95 Pts
