2019 Château Du Parc

Château Du Parc is an 80/20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new oak barrels with medium toasting. The bouquet of this wine is round and opulent, evoking the richness of Boysenberry jam and raspberries. Its style is decidedly modern. With good acidity and smooth tannins, it is medium-bodied with an elegant tannin profile.

The wine displays great intensity and luster, along with a rich red hue. There is a beautiful contrast between ripe red fruit aromas and spicy notes, offering a complex nose. On the palate, it is direct and lingers, featuring a continuation of the beautiful red fruits. A spicy note runs throughout the tasting, complemented by a subtle woody undertone.

"This is a solid red with blackberry, walnut and coffee-bean character. Medium to full body and a flavorful finish. A blend of 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc." James Suckling : 91-92/100

"Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Du Parc comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of baked black cherries, mulberries and plum preserves plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, candied violets and chocolate box. The medium-bodied palate has a solid frame of finely grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the tightly wound black fruit flavors, finishing on a provocative mineral note." Wine advocate : 90-92/100
