Domaine de L'Aurage

Mostly Merlot from the Castillon region, which lies to the east of Saint-Emilion, the 2019 Domaine De L'Aurage looks to be a rock star with its gorgeous crème de cassis, framboise, vanilla, spice, and wildflower aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and straight-up sexy, this plush yet beautifully balanced 2019 has plenty of fruit, ripe tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. I'd be a buyer.
