March 23, 2024 - Opens with air, scents hint at cocoa and blueberry, intense on the palate with bright and bracing acid, flavors of black cherry, raspberry, earth and a kiss of licorice on the finish, balanced between richness and vibrancy, very well made, an excellent value, serious wine at a sub-50 dollar price, hold or decant, a great match with Wagyu steak

February 16, 2024 - Chalky mouthfeel with grippy tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. We really enjoyed this wine now, but it will improve greatly with a few years in bottle.

February 8, 2024 - -- decanted for 45 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted blind over 3.75 hrs on Day 1; revisited on Days 2 and 3 --
NOSE: Day 1: ripe; “winey”; red fruits and bitter florals; no funk or pencil shavings; hint of mint; more similar to #9 (2020 Malescot) than to #8 (2020 d’Armailhac). Day 2: high-pitched, with bitter florals.
BODY: magenta-violet color of medium-deep depth; medium to medium-full bodied.
TASTE: medium to medium+ acidity; “flat” out of the gates, and flavors are in-line with initial Nose, in the sense that it’s fairly anonymous; a bit boozy tasting – faintly reminiscent of a lightly-peated whisky (oak); much juicier and now with red berries at the 4.5 hrs. open mark, and now coming into greater focus, too --- no longer “flat” --- much improved. Day 2: good acidity (medium+); some drying tannin and oak. Day 3: oak still immediately noticeable. Approachable now, but the oak is significant, so best to Hold.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 18, 2023 - Langtons Bordeaux 2020 Arrival Tasting (Sydney, Australia): Quite neatly balanced and classical. Good value.
