Croizet Bages 2019 (750ML)

93-94 JS / 91-93 WA / 91 DE

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. James Suckling

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! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

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.- Jane Anson, Decanter
