The 2019 Deyrem Valentin offers lovely complexity in an understated style that is quite appealing. Dried herbs, leather, cedar, tobacco and menthol grace this aromatic, inviting Margaux. Savory Cabernet aromas and flavors are nicely pushed forward.

The 2019 Deyrem Valentin displays a deep garnet-purple color, offering up notions of warm cassis, baked plums, cedar chest, pencil lead and crushed rocks plus suggestions of clove oil and charcoal. Medium-bodied, the plush textured palate delivers mouth-filling black fruits with a lively line and ripe, grainy tannins, finishing mineral-laced.

Well worth checking out, the 2019 Château Deyrem Valentin shows the lively, elegant style of the vintage. Giving up complex red and black fruits, lots of floral, sappy, cedary herb-like notes, soft tannins, and a good finish, it's a pleasure-bent effort to drink over the coming decade.
