Note di degustazione
I loved the 2021 Château Destieux, a classy, medium-bodied, impressive 2021 that has ample darker berry fruits, some classy background oak, ripe tannins, and textbook Saint-Emilion notes of graphite, crushed stone, and leafy herbs. It's beautiful today yet should benefit from just a few years of bottle age.

The 2021 Destieux doesn't really have any commitment on the nose—very static and earthy. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp tannins on the entry, revealing black fruit and blueberry toward the finish but lacking fluidity.
The 2021 Destieux is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next decade, give or take. Succulent blueberry, mocha, spice, licorice, lavender and chocolate build nicely in the glass. There's plenty to like, but the ceiling imposed by the year is also quite evident. This is nicely done just the same.
The 2021 Destieux feels a bit volatile on the nose compared to others. The palate is sweet and candied, lacks real grip and feels a little cloying on the finish. Just not my style.
