Chateau Croizet Bages 2021

JAMES SUCKLING: "Some firm tannins and focus to this wine, with blackcurrant and spice character. Medium body. Lightly chewy finish."

DECANTER: "Bright red fruits on the nose and palate, this has a gentle charm, lightly framed, with silky, delicate but also grippy tannins that are so well integrated. I like the slightly bitter, sour cherry flavour and the overall texture with weight and structure in the mouth. Great minty cool freshness throughout, with good intention and focus. Tense and tight at the moment yet feels so clean. Good potential here. I love the Cabernet aspects on show."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Kirschen, ein Hauch von Preiselbeeren, etwas Vanille, frisches Bukett. Leichtfüßig, dunkle Kirschen, gut integrierte Tannine, Gewürznelken und Nougat im Abgang, gastronomischer Stil."
