The 2020 is widely regarded as one of the legendary wines from this address — a wine that effortlessly triumphs over the heat and drought of the vintage to produce something nuanced, pure, and deeply classical. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. Pure cassis, graphite, lead pencil, and scorched earth on the nose. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a finish of extraordinary length. Best from 2027, with the potential to evolve for 50+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews — Vintage 2020\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck 98+ pts\u003c\/strong\u003e | Pure cassis, graphite, lead pencil, and scorched earth.
