From Saint-Emilion
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 92 JS / 91-93 Vm / 91 De / 16 Jr. This is dark fruited with chocolate, crushed walnuts, black licorice and cedar wood. Medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Tight and toned with a polished finish and notes of crushed stones and nut shell at the end. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Excellent for a second wine. Try after 2025. -JamesSuckling.com. The 2020 Clos La Gaffelière is a super attractive second wine. It is a bit darker and more overt than the Grand Vin, both of which lend quite a bit of immediacy. Black cherry, plum, spice, chocolate and leather build nicely in the glass. This supple, juicy Saint-Émilion will drink well right out of the gate. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous. Bright plum, cranberry and cherry fruit, some easy-to-love freshness. Unfussy and appealing with a limestone kick and chalky finish. Second wine of Château la Gaffelière, made since 1985. Has its own separate wine cellar, with grapes that come from specific plots. - Jane Anson, Decanter. 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Crimson hue. Juicy, round and fresh, the fruit apparent. Slightly riper spectrum than the 2019 tasted just before. Tannins present but tender and a bit more length and drive. - Jl, JancisRobinson.com. |
