The 2019 Chateau Mauvesin Barton has more dark fruits, structure, and length, and it's a little more serious as well. Still, the tannins are nicely polished, and the balance is spot on. It's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade.

The 2019 Mauvesin-Barton has a rather backward nose without quite the same level of energy as its peers, therefore demands more coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with loose-tannins, fleshy and approachable yet missing some grip on the finish. Not bad, but certainly not best in class. Two bottles tasted, the second demonstrating a tad more fruit, yet still not as convincing as it…

The 2019 Mauvesin Barton has a straightforward, classic, slightly leafy bouquet that unfurls nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a piquant entry, fine acidity and a supple finish that feels more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon.
