Chateau Croizet Bages 2019 Pauillac
weiteres von

25 Jan, 2022 – Blackcurrants, spices and blueberries with some lead pencil on the nose. Medium body with fine tannins that are polished and pretty. Nice finish. Not the most structured 2019, but very attractive and well crafted. Drink after 2025.

The 2019 Croizet-Bages is a dark, fleshy Pauillac. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, tobacco and smoke give this hearty, medium to full-bodied wine a good deal of complexity. There are some rough edges, but also plenty to like. Croizet-Bages is a wine of substance that will blossom at the dinner table.

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feiner Nougat, ein Hauch von Cassis und Kakao, schwarze Herzkirschen, sehr einladendes Bukett. Komplex, saftig, präsente, reife Tannine, schwarze Waldbeeren im Abgang, mineralisch und ernsthaft, zeigt sehr gute Länge, wird von weiterer Flaschenreife profitieren.

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Croizet Bages 2019 Pauillac Folgendes:
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.

The 2019 Croizet-Bages was picked from 18 September to 10 October and will mature for 12 months in 50% new oak. It is high-toned on the nose with bold blackberry and boysenberry fruit, though it doesn't have the complexity of the best Pauillac in this vintage. Hold on a minute though, because the palate compensates with some lovely graphite-tinged black fruit, fine tannins and a harmonious, classic Pauillac finish. Overall, not bad at all.

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!
