Château Croizet-Bages 5. Cru Classé Pauillac 2020

"The 2020 Croizet-Bages is laced with red fruit, dried herbs, crushed rocks, graphite and strong mineral notes that lend freshness while giving the wine terrific freshness as well as energy. the 2020 is not as opulent as many wines in this vintage, but it more than makes up for that with its persistence and length."
92-94/100 Punkte - Trinkreife: 2028 - 2040

"Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Croizet-Bages opens with notes of prunes, fruitcake and espresso, leading to notes of black olives, fried herbs and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and a little dilute in the middle, finishing firmly and abruptly."
84-86/100 Punkte - Trinkreife: 2023-2035

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Mit einem Hauch von Edelholz unterlegte reife Herzkirschen, frische Orangenzesten, tabakiger Hauch. Mittlerer Körper, feine Fruchtsüße, runde Tannine, heller Nougat im Abgang, bietet unkompliziertes Trinkvergnügen."
90-92/100 Punkte

"Very chewy and tannic, yet the tannins are refined and polished. Blackberry and blueberry character with a walnut undertone. Full and flavorful."
