88-90 Barrel sample. A spicy new wood flavored wine, offering attractive jammy fruits. The wine is fresh, fruity, not particularly dense, but balancing well.

From almost nowhere, in 10 years Agassac has shot to stardom, thanks to big investments by insurance company Groupama. Under the management of Jean-Luc Zell, new wood has become a dominant item in vinification. In 2004, this is verging on too much, but ripe blackberry flavors should assert themselves in 2–3 years. A wine for modern Bordeaux lovers.

90-92 Rich and fruity, a real juice bomb of a wine that has black currant and spice fruit to go with its solid, well-integrated tannins.

Dark in color, with a bit of lemony oak to the nose as well as chocolate and black plum. The palate is a basic Bordeaux mix of cassis, earth, plum and tree bark. The clean, smooth finish confirms the wine’s ripeness. A good middle-of-the-road red for everyday affairs.

This chateau has recently been purchased by an insurance company. Money has been no object in restructuring the property, and the results for the past 4 or 5 vintages have been impressive. It’s a ripe wine, almost opulent, with ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, lending sweetness and tannins. Flattering now, it will mature quickly. Imported by PJ Wines.
