Chateau Rouget 2019 (JS 95-96)

Pomerol

James Suckling 95-96 points.
This is really finely crafted with sleek, polished tannins and beautiful, deep fruit. It’s full-bodied. Flavorful finish. Gorgeous texture. - James Suckling

Decanter 94 points.
Inky plum colour, clear aromatic concentration and a relatively low yield of 33hl/ha. These levels of concentration are repeated on the palate, and this is one of the more intense Rougets, particularly if comparing to years like 2017 but also more muscle here than the 2018. High quality, with rippling tannic muscle and smoked black fruit, will take its time to come around. Harvest 17 September to 10 October. Drinking Window 2027 - 2044 - Jane Anson, Decanter
