"Very deep purple-black colored, the 2019 de la Dauphine sings of warm blackberries, mulberries, stewed plums and fruitcake with touches of clove oil, chocolate mint and cracked black pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with freshness, lifting the ripe black fruits, finishing long with a pleasant suggestion of chewiness." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
