Note di degustazione
The 2019 Rouget is quite open and more fruit-driven on the nose than its peers - kirsch and redcurrant, evidence of some creamy new oak that slightly obscures the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, rather bitter and coarse, a very faint vegetal note on the finish that is jarring at present. I will be more parsimonious with my score for now. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Gamey, animal nose. Sweet start and lots of fruit and charm even if it’s not a long-distance runner. (JR)
Deeply hued, the 2019 Château Rouget offers a rich, rock-solid bouquet of spiced currants, leafy herbs, forest floor, and chocolate. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, fleshy, even opulent Pomerol that has velvety tannins, a round, seamless feel, and a great finish. Drink this pleasure-bent beauty over the coming 15 years or more.
The 2019 Rouget reveals aromas of cherries, jammy berries, dark chocolate and vine smoke, followed by a full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate framed by ripe but succulent acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This is a broad, demonstrative Pomerol that will drink well with only a little bottle age.
