Critic tasting note: (2020 vintage) "This young wine, full of tannins, is also rich in fruit. It has density and a dry core that will soften. Black fruits are currently in the background but are full of promise. Drink from 2025." - Wine Enthusiast

When to drink: 2023 to 2039
2020 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2023
This young wine, full of tannins, is also rich in fruit. It has density and a dry core that will soften. Black fruits are currently in the background but are full of promise. Drink from 2025.
2020 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2023
Medium-bodied, silky, vibrant and with a nice punch of savory, red fruits and cigar wrapper in the nose and on the palate, this is a superb example of Graves that while it can be enjoyed young, it will also reward a few years of cellaring as well. Drink from 2024-2037.
2020 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2022
A rather light 2020 with some pleasing blackcurrant, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium body. Fresh and crisp. Not very structured, but delicious. Drink now.

Vintage quality: Excellent (Legendary)
Current condition: Will keep
The 2020 vintage for Graves was generally very good although, in general, the Left Bank was slightly less consistent than the Right.
