Tasting notes
Ripe, round, forward, lush and packed with black and red cherries, earth and leafy herbs, this is going to offer pleasure on release, yet provide the ability to age for over a decade as well. This is a nice value wine from the Left Bank. Drink from 2023-2035.

The 2020 Pontoise Cabarrus (not a name that trips off the tongue easily) has quite an opulent nose with blueberry, menthol and desiccated orange peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening. This is a voluminous, quite broad-shouldered Cru Bourgeois and it just pulls it off, retaining freshness on the peppery finish. Afford it a couple of years in bottle.
Good structure, Médoc typicity, dark fruits and eucalyptus, this is serious and understated if a little angular. Located in St Seurin de Cadourne, same owners as Domaine Tereygeol.
A juicy and savory red with bark, oyster shell, currant and orange peel aromas and flavors. Not a super structured young wine but shows length and energy. Very fine. Give it four years to soften. Try in 2026.
