2019 Domaine de l'A

Sourced from one of my favorite estates in the Castillon region, the 2019 Domaine De L'A displays a medium ruby color and a brilliant palette of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and loamy earth, with the classic savory minerality that always seems to show up in this appellation. The palate is medium to full-bodied, seamless, perfectly balanced, with gorgeous tannins and a great finish. As I've written about previous vintages, don't miss it. It will evolve for over two decades.
