Some dried herbs alongside rich and concentrated blackcurrant on the nose. The texture stands out straight away, smooth with a delicate creamy, velvet edge that surrounds the liquorice-laced blackberry and plum fruit. Definitely powerful but poised with charm and refinement. A lovely wine for earlier enjoyment. Just super supple, generous and all in balance.

Blueberry and blackberry aromas and flavors with a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. It's chewy and polished at the end.

The 2019 Relais de La Dominique is a gorgeous second wine. Lifted floral and spice notes work so well in giving this mid-weight Saint-Emilion tons of sheer appeal. The Relais is everything a second wine should be; gracious, charming and very easy to both like and drink.
