"Here you see more subtlety, more floral iris and violets, tobacco, incense, spice, this is a vintage that is gorgeous now, and will continue to be gorgeous down the years, can't recommend highly enough, excellent quality.This has grown since En Primeur and will continue to do so, expansion through the mid palate, beautiful. Tobacco;, cocoa, cappuccino. 60% new oak, 51% of production in Cantenac Brown, harvest September 17 to October 8. There is a harmony and sweetness, gentleness here that I love."

"Plump fruit, rich raspberry puree and cassis flavours, layered through with chocolate and grilled cedar. This was the same score as I gave it when tasting in barrel in October 2017. Things have closed down a little since then, as this is heading into its dumb phase, but it's clearly extremely well structured and all the elements are in place for a long future. So wait to open, but this is a complex, nuanced Cantenac. 51% of production in the 1st wine, 60% new oak. Harvest September 17 to October 8." - Jane Anson (04/2020)
