Pressac 2019 (3.0L)

92-94 JD / 93 DE / 91-92 JS

I'm not sure the 2019 Château De Pressac will match the 2018, but it's certainly in the ballpark, offering a beautiful core of black raspberry, cassis, and mulled red fruits as well as notes of smoked herbs, chocolate, and flowery incense. Spicy, medium to full-bodied, exceedingly elegant, and balanced, it’s a wonderful, layered 2019 that will have plenty of upfront appeal yet evolve nicely for 15+ years.- Jeb Dunnack

Deep inky damson in colour, fairly closed on the nose although it opens up after a few minutes in the glass. It has soft tannins and this is packed with well expressed blueberry and raspberry fruit, clear spice and a black pepper spike through the finish. Always an enjoyable wine, with touches of both Carmanère (2%) and Malbec (1%). 65% new oak. A yield of 40hl/ha.- Jane Anson, Decanter

Solid core of fruit here. Medium to full body and pretty fruit with blackberry and light chocolate character. Focused and balanced.- James Suckling
