Note di degustazione
A beautiful red from the cooler, limestone soils of the Castillon region, the 2023 Château D'Aiguilhe offers up black cherries, graphite, crushed stone, and floral notes. It's medium-bodied, clean, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate. It picks up a flinty minerality with time in the glass and is a beautiful 2023 that will keep for 15-20 years in a cold cellar. Drink 2026-2045.

The 2023 d'Aiguilhe is laced with plummy dark fruit, mocha, white pepper, dried flowers, mint and dried herbs. The 2023 has a light savory edge that I did not see en primeur , but it's not overly intrusive.
The 2023 Château d'Aiguilhe has a light nose, just a little herbaceous at first, tightly wound black fruit with a distinct marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, cohering nicely toward the finish, so that after a "wobbly start" it finishes with a bit of panache. A second bottle just tapered away a bit short.
Ferrous, with rust, crushed dark berries and chalk. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing mineral precision, delineated yet ripe fruit and a compelling combination of fleshiness, definition and tannins. Saline finish. A blend of 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Already compelling but will improve with a couple of years in bottle. Drink or hold.
