Terre de Vins
"With a medium-to-deep garnet-purple color, the 2018 d'Agassac releases notes of crushed blackberries, blackcurrants, and warm plums, along with hints of graphite, lavender, and kirsch. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly styled with crisp black and red fruits and lovely freshness, textured by soft tannins, and finishes with a step forward.” (Wine Advocate 2021) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

About the wine:
This elegantly structured wine already displays a good balance between its tannins and its generous blackcurrant fruit. Its structure will allow it to age well, promising a refined wine that will be ready to drink starting in 2023.

About the wine:
A vibrant color; a powerful nose of blueberry and fine leather, with hints of shoe polish; the palate impresses with its elegance, finesse, and juiciness. Delicious flavors of tart morello cherry, ethereal tannins, and notes of toast; a delicate, lace-like ensemble. Here is a graceful, flavorful bottle with potential. This historic estate has successfully evolved into a contemporary style; it has everything it takes to win over wine lovers. A monument to elegance.
