    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.

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

    November 17, 2023 - blackcurrant, cocoa, cream, a little cassis, good quality oak here as well. Smells as if it's going to be on the 'large' side. Juicy, fleshy, and this is bold here but balanced, tannins are very slightly in the ascendency, the blackcurrant cassis fruit is joined by aa little plum. Yum.
