Tasting like a mini-version of the Grand Vin from this great estate, the 2019 Asterisk boasts a saturated purple/plum hue as well as a killer bouquet of plums, blackberries, iron, leafy tobacco, and loamy earth. I always find a certain bloody character in the wines of this estate, and this ripe, layered, medium to full-bodied wine has silky tannins, fabulous balance, and a great finish.
