Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 D'Arsac leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of crushed red and black currants, fresh blackberries and black raspberries with hints of rose hip tea, bouquet garni and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate has a firm line of grainy tannins and loads of freshness supporting the bright, crunchy black fruits, finishing with an herbal lift.

This is a powerful, dense wine that is rich both in tannins and black fruits. With its spicy wood aging, concentrated structure and layers of blackberry fruitiness, this fine wine is set for the long-term.
