2019 Chateau Serilhan St Estephe

2019 Chateau Serilhan St Estephe The 2019 Sérilhan is a total knockout. A rush of grilled herbs, inky dark fruit, licorice, and menthol notes hit the palate as 2019 makes a strong opening statement. Deep and virile in feel, 2019 has so much to offer. It is without question one of the sleepers of the vintage, in a word: impressive. 94pts Vinous

With a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Serilhan bursts from the glass with notes of ripe blackcurrants, boysenberries, black raspberries, and cedar chest plus nuances of red roses, pencil lead, and camphor. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, featuring tons of crunchy black fruit and a finely grained texture, lifted by fantastic tension, finishing long and perfumed. Impressive! 93pts Parker’s WA
