This vintage stares back with bearing and confidence. It is a thunderhead of dark berry fruits, plum, well-worn leather and cassis. Strikes of flashing acidity keep this burly wine focussed but also accessible. When the initial and impressive crash of rich fruit subsides, whispers of coffee, light nutmeg and dark chocolate remain. The wine echoes on while the fully resolved and sturdy tannin structure displays its strength and easily carries the roar and rumble. The 2020 will roll over you with an exciting vigor and leave you contented like the calm after a storm.
