Note di degustazione
This has blueberries, dark chocolate, lavender and hints of sage on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm and silky tannins and a chalky finish. Crunchy. Delicious now, but drink or hold.

The 2021 Château D'Aiguilhe is another perfumed, incredibly floral Castillon that has medium-bodied aromas and flavors of raspberries, spring flowers, and a kiss of chalky minerality. It's elegant, beautifully balanced, has fine tannins, and a great finish. It's another delicious 2021 to drink in its youth.
The 2021 Château d'Aiguilhe has a light, floral bouquet with white flower scents filtering through the red fruit, though it doesn't have the complexity of the best vintages I have tasted. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a little dry in style, and it feels much more austere than I anticipated toward the finish. At the moment, I cannot see this having the substance to age over the long term.
The 2021 d’Aiguilhe is dark, fleshy and super-expressive. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and mocha unfurl in the glass. The d'Aiguilhe is a blend of old vines and newer plantings from a massale selection started about a decade ago. Soft, plush contours add to its considerable appeal.
