Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95
A worthy follow up to the excellent 2019, the 2020 La Gaffeliere bursts with aromas of plums, sweet berries, licorice, mint and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and concentrated, with lively acids and vibrant fruit flavors, it’s built around powdery, fine-grained tannins. Cabernet Franc represents fully 40% of the blend. As I wrote last year, this estate, in many respects Saint-Emilion’s sleeping giant, is awakening.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2050

Couleur d’intensite normale, vive et pourpre. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruite mur agremente d’une jolie touche de framboise. Caressant en entree de bouche, le vin manque de relief au milieu et de gras. Il s’acheve sur une finale sans angle. Longueur moyenne.
