2021 Château D'Agassac

The 2021 d'Agassac is a bit stern, but it offers good potential. Blackberry, mocha, licorice, spice, espresso, dried herbs and chocolate build in the glass, filling out the wine's frame nicely. This is well crafted for the year.

Refined currants, black olives, tobacco, red pepper and spices on the nose. This is juicy and fine-grained on the palate with a medium body and nicely tight finish. Well-judged tannin structure that is supportive but not overly ambitious for this light vintage. Drink now.

Beautiful red fruits, spice, cedary herbs, and even some floral notes emerge from the 2021 Château D'Agassac, a charming, medium-bodied, silky, elegant red that shines for its balance and purity. It will evolve for 7-8 years. (04/2024)

The 2021 D'Agassac marks the final vintage overseen by Jean-Luc Zell, who has performed admirably at this estate. It possesses a fruity, elegant bouquet with aromas of cassis, blueberry, spring flowers and licorice, followed by a moderately weighted palate, a long, fruity and velvety mid-palate and a fresh, penetrating finish. Despite being slightly less fleshy than usual, it maintains its status as a reliable choice. This is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
