Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, plums, cloves and iodine. Medium-bodied with sinewy tannins. Layered and velvety with supple and fruity character. Juicy finish.

Perfumed and elegant, the 2019 de Fieuzal wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries, licorice, coniferous forest floor and incense. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with a pretty core of fruit, powdery tannin and a saline finish, it's a seamless, vibrant Pessac that—like its white counterpart—reflects the progress this 80-hectare Pessac-Leognan estate is making. It's a sleeper of the vintage.

The 2019 Chateau de Fieuzal has a complex nose, a melange of red and black fruit, crushed stone and a touch of black truffle. Serious. The palate is beautifully balanced with firm, quite solid" tannins, a Pessac-Leognan built for the long-term with a sapid, almost briny finish. This is the best de Fieizal in recent years."

The succulence of this wine is impressively palpable. It adds black currant fruits to spice, while keeping solid tannins in the background. This fine combination means it will certainly age well.
