Note di degustazione
The ruby/purple-hued 2019 Château Croizet-Bages has a solid perfume of red and black currants, sappy tobacco, and cedar pencil to go with a medium-bodied, balanced, elegant, slightly herbal style on the palate. It's not a blockbuster, but it has good balance, ripe and present tannins, and a fresh, lively, nicely concentrated style that will benefit from just 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15 years.

Aromas of earthy cassis fruit, undergrowth and cigar wrapper introduce the 2019 Croizet-Bages, a medium to full-bodied, supple wine with a delicate core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids. It's a somewhat simple, cleanly made wine that will likely flesh out with a few years in bottle.
The 2019 Croizet-Bages has a straightforward nose of blackberry, cedar and light touches of mint and camphor; the oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and quite smooth, although the oak feels a little dominant toward the finish. It seems to drift, missing a bit of focus and grip, so that after it has departed, you soon forget about it. Frustratingly, this Pauillac falls short of my predictions from barrel.
