Tasting notes
A juicy and impressive wine from d’Agassac, the color of this 2005 is a saturated ruby/purple, while the wine offers forest floor, cedar, and blackcurrant notes, soft tannins, medium to full body, and surprising concentration and density. This is a winner and a sleeper of the vintage to drink over the next decade.

Very healthy crimson. Very nuanced, deep, spicy nose. Lovely velvety texture without being at all sweet. Lots of ripe tannin underneath but this wine is apparently quite possible to drink now because the intensity of ripe fruit is so great. Should beguile for quite a long time.⁞ (JR)
(53% merlot, 45% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc) Bright ruby-red. Blackberry and violet aromas offer good lift. Juicy and on the lean side but not hard, with fruit-driven dark berry flavors. A bit Margaux-like but more muscular, with slightly drying tannins.
