Meningen van critici
Aromas of currants and dark cherries with orange peel character. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and chocolate with hints of cedar. Crisp and vivid. 66% merlot, 24% cabernet sauvignon and 10% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
A new label that uses all vineyards owned by the Borie family outside of St-Julien - so those in Cussac, Listrac and a small portion of Moulis (both Lalande-Borie and Ducluzeau are now in here). Careful construction helps balance what are fairly tight tannins with savoury plum and blackberry fruits. Harvest from September 11. Concentrated and fresh, touches of tobacco leaf and woodsmoke as it opens. A yield of 22hl/ha, 20% new oak. Drinking Window 2022-2030.
Coming from the Haut-Médoc and based on 66% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Madame De Beaucaillou will spend 12 months in 20% new barrels. It has a classic Bordeaux nose of ripe red and black fruits as well as notes of tobacco, gravelly earth, and spicy wood, medium to full-bodied richness, and a round, textured, balanced style on the palate. It's going to be a terrific drinker for Bordeaux lovers to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years, if not longer, as it has notable structure.
Bien, pero no lo recomendaría por el precio.
