Tuesday, November 8, 2022 - Arvi Bordeaux 2020 Arrivage (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Bordeaux 2020 Arrivage tasting. Key observations: 1/ Tannins were generally soft and well-integrated, but still left room for structure, 2/ fruit generally ripe and well-defined, no over-extraction, 3/ all appellation were showing great, but if I had to pick out then it would be Paulliac, 4/ top wines were Petit Village (completely unexpected, 97) and Lynch Bages (96).

Tasting note:
Polished nose, expressive and intense, producing rich flavors of dark cherry, black currant, mineral notes of smoke and graphite. Quickly adding floral layers, too. The texture is velvety in nature, the tannins are grippy and slightly mouthcoating tannin but expertly built in. After 2015, 2016 and even 2017 another (more than) lovely young LB.
