A medium-to full-bodied red with aromas of red berries, plums, orange zest, flowers, black pepper and dried herbs. Fine-grained tannins frame layers of herbs and spiced fruit with some saline undertones. Fresh and delicious. JS
the 2019 Besoleil is medium ruby in the glass with delightful floral expressions that waft with elements of potpourri, red and black peppercorn, spiced cherry and black raspberry. Medium-bodied, the palate is delineated, layered and complex, offering dusty red fruit flavors of dried cranberries, red plum skin and wild raspberry before a myriad of red spices parade across the mid-palate with succulent acidity and buttressing tannins. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, there is plenty of life in this wine. RP
