Château La Gaffelière 2020 AOC Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe Magnum

Description

94-96/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

“The 2021 La Gaffeliere is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in colour, it needs a little swirling and coaxing to unleash vivacious scents of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and black cherries, followed by hints of liquorice, crushed rocks, wood smoke, and tapenade, with a waft of red roses. Medium-bodied, the palate is beautifully knit with lots of black fruit, floral and savoury layers, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic tension, finishing long and mineral-laced.”
