Chateau La Gaffeliere, 1er Grand Cru Classé, Saint-Emilion 2020 6x75cl

(96-98) Points, Neal Martin, 2028-2060 Vinous The 2020 La Gaffelière has an intriguing, complex nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, cigar box, undergrowth and mint, quite mercurial in the glass as it opens with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a beautiful seam of acidity and perhaps the most satin-like texture I have encountered on a young La Gaffelière. It sashays to a harmonious and precise finish and lingers with wonderful mineralité. This is a magnificent prospect. Review Date: 01 May 21
