Chateau Clos Marsalette, Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France 2020

Wine Spectator 93 Very sleek and tightly focused, with a long, thin, piercing iron note through the middle of a core of red currant and loganberry fruit, all flanked in turn by subtle alder and red tea. Flashes a mouthwatering edge on the finish, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2033. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported. James Suckling 92 Lots of dried fruits with apples, pears and apricots follow through to a medium body with creamy texture and a fresh finish. Drink now.
