2002 Agassac - Haut-Médoc ,
Bordeaux, France
2002 Agassac : deep crimson hue. After
decanting, the initial wooded notes disappear and are replaced by red berries, liquorice, coffee and mint. 2002 d'Agassac has a classic
fruity
texture (morello cherry) with granulous but
elegant tannins. The
finish of 2002 d'Agassac is marked by a slightly disturbing
acidity just after the opening, but the
balance soon returns as d'Agassac's temperature warms up. Good persistence with some roasted notes. A very good 2002 d'Agassac, far from some other
Medoc properties who sometimes have an
astringent mouth. Excellent Quality/Price deal. Has the potential to age well (2008 - 2015).
Like many 2002, Agassac needs to be decanted
several hours. 87/100
