Chateau Vieux Maillet 2020 (WA 90-92)

Wine Advocate 90-92.
Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Vieux Maillet rolls out of the glass with upfront scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote and spice cake, plus hints of black truffles and crushed rocks. The elegantly crafted, medium-bodied palate is chock-full of crunchy black fruits with ripe, rounded tannins and great freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note. LPB Jun 2021.

Falstaff 92 points.
Deep ruby, opaque core, purple reflections on the rim. Fresh cherry fruit, a hint of cassis underscored with new wood spices. Medium body, fine cherry fruit, fresh, well-structured, integrated tannins, remains well-balanced, a little nougat on the finish..
