Château La Vieille Cure 2020
Descripción
Coupage basado en una mayoritaria Merlot procedente de Fronsac, la zona bordelesa emergente más al norte de Saint-Emilion y Pomerol. El propio Robert Parker dijo en 2012 que era una de las bodegas más consistentes de la denominación, toda una referencia dados los resultados entregados en los últimos 10 años por sus actuales propietarios, un grupo de americanos enamorados de Burdeos que cuentan con la asesoría del laboratorio de Michel Rolland. Estructurado, refinado y pulido, estamos ante un tinto en sus primeras catas que destaca por sus taninos firmes y su final persistente.

Opinión de los críticos
A pretty deep and broad-shouldered Fronsac with impressive intensity. Nose has lots of blackcurrants, dark cherries, some cocoa powder and a hint of cigar box. Full-bodied on the palate with dense yet creamy tannins that will take a few more years to integrate. Lengthy and pretty plush. An outstanding Fronsac. Drinkable now, but better from 2025.
New owners for a few years now at La Vieille Cure, and it continues to be one of the go-to names in the appellation. This is a little closed down right now, the oaking a little evident, but the big berry fruits charm their way in after a few moments, as do charred cedar notes and grippy tannins. Enjoyable and confident and overall one of the Fronsacs that is tasting great. Drinking Window 2023- 2036.
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 La Vieille Cure storms out of the glass with powerful notions of plum preserves, blueberry pie and baker's chocolate, followed by suggestions of star anise, ground cloves and eucalyptus. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed by rich, ripe black and blue fruits, backed up by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and opulent.
