St.Emilion Grand Cru Classée values tasting: Like the 2015 next to it a wine with classic proportions, not too big, even though the 2020 was denser than the 2015 but there was also good freshness to the medium body.

The attention seeking nose gets you with its display of flowers, cherries, Allspice, licorice and espresso. On the palate, the fruits are ripe, dark, sweet and polished. The medium-bodied, soft-textured finish, with all of its silky tannins, vibrance, ripe fruits and touch of crushed stones is already hitting all the right marks. Drink from 2024-2040.

Showing a good depth of color, the fruit is ripe, dark, sweet and polished. Medium-bodied, with soft-textures and a cool touch of minerality in the licorice, spice and espresso toned finish, this is good now, and it is going to be even better with 3-5 years of bottle age. 90-92

St. Emilion Grand Cru Classés Walkaround tasting, so just short notes (Amsterdam): 80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is raised for 16 months in for 60% new oak. More full bodied than the 2015 I tasted beside it. Very round and tasty with juicy acidity and tannin. Beautiful wine.
