Full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, and rich, this beauty pops with licorice, smoke, flowers, roses, espresso, plums and chocolate in the nose. The wine is bold, intense and at the moment, slightly reticent, so give it a few years before popping a cork and you will be amply rewarded with layers of ripe, sweet, earthy, plums, blackberries, black cherries, truffle and chocolate. Drink from 2027-2055.

Subtle plum on nose, huge amount of plum on pallet, very silky and elegant. 93+ points.

UGCB tasting Bordeaux 2020 Walkaround tasting so in general just short notes (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Very beautiful full bodied wine with dark and red berries, luxurious oak and cedar, good and fresh acidity and tannin, a touch of pleasant sweetness and a great length. Good future. Probably wise to wait at least until 2030 - 2032+. 95+

The 2020 vintage UGCB tasting in Amsterdam 03/06/2023 (Amsterdam): A bit fading bouquet with a good and creamy midtaste and a nice and balanced finish, however, overall impression: a bit lean.

Gravelly, slightly truffley, black-fruited. Succulent and deep. Really promising and I like the upright posture here; not seemingly over-done. 94-96
