Chateau Du Retout Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois Superieur 2020 Rated 91DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 91
Dark plum in colour, this is pretty tannic with a clear frame that is keeping the fruit in play. Fresh acidities, full-on but getting the tone right in terms of delivering Haut-Médoc signature while also delivering a sense of fun and energy. Drinking Window: 2023-2034.

Wine Tasting Notes

• ONTHE EYES: The Medoc grape varieties and soils give us wines with superb, dense, dark hues, ranging from deep garnet to ruby-crimson, taking on brick red shades with orange tints with age.
• ON THE NOSE: Very intense and expressive aromas with powerful notes of black fruit such as blackcurrants and blackberries. In older wines, the nose develops a spicy bouquet of liquorice, leather and marshmallow mingled with the vanilla scents created by well-integrated oak.
• ON THE PALATE: Harmonious, elegant and velvety, with smooth, round tannins, that can be appreciated from the wine's entry to the palate through to the finish. These are delightfully full-bodied wines with great aromatic persistence. One could almost enjoy it now!
