Chateau La Gaffeliere, Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 2020 Pares Balta

Chateau La Gaffeliere, Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 2020 Pares Balta"A worthy follow up to the excellent 2019, the 2020 La Gaffelire 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 milion's sleeping giant, is awakening." The Wine Advocate 95
