Domaine de L'Aurage 2019 Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

Vinous: The 2019 L’Aurage is bold and luscious in the glass, with forward fruit, soft curves and plenty of up-front appeal. Black cherry, mocha, plum and cloves all flesh out in this ample, succulent Côtes de Castillon. A wine of undeniable appeal and charm, the 2019 L’Aurage should drink beautifully right out of the gate. (91-93 punten)

Decanter: The Louis Mitjavile estate that is rightly causing a buzz. Now almost a decade and a half under his ownership and fully into its stride, this feels ripe and textured, with the minerality and austerity clear in every step. Fairy powerful knitted down fruit, seductive oak traces, this is built to go the distance and has chewy tannins on the finish. Good stuff, give it a good few years in bottle (93/100 punten)
