This wine has not been tasted by anyone other than those able to visit the château during lockdown; Cheval Blanc took the decision not to send samples. Their assessment of the wine is as follows: “The aromas are typical of a warm vintage. Black fruit mingles with notes of garrigue and pepper. The minty freshness holds the aromatic ensemble well. The attack is opulent. The power and density of the wine are remarkable, and the mouth lingers thanks to a rich and full tannin structure. The wine lengthens as it tightens to an impressive finish.”
