Cru bourgeois exceptionnel. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot. 40% new barrels. Dark glossy crimson. Light leafiness on the nose but also confidence! Very smooth with the tannins almost hidden by sumptuous ripe fruit. Just a little soft. (JR)
The 2019 d'Arsac has a very Margaux-like bouquet with crushed violet and potpourri bursting from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins, well judged acidity, tobacco and minty notes infusing the black fruit towards the finish. Probably early drinking but nicely made.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 D'Arsac leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of crushed red and black currants, fresh blackberries and black raspberries with hints of rose hip tea, bouquet garni and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate has a firm line of grainy tannins and loads of freshness supporting the bright, crunchy black fruits, finishing with an herbal lift.
