This estate continues to produce brilliant wines, and their 2020 Château Bouscaut is no exception. Exhibiting a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a great nose of red and black currants, leafy herbs, scorched earth, and lead pencil shavings, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Count me impressed. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for upwards of two decades.

Deep plum in colour, lovely violet reflections, rich and with silk-riven in texture from beginning to end of the palate. A real sign of how Bouscaut has tamed its sometimes overly-exuberant character, while losing none of the confident glamour of the wine. Damson, black cherry, vanilla pod, cocoa bean, excellent quality.

A tight yet juicy young red with blackberry, raw dark mushroom and bark aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a dense center palate and solid tannins. 61% merlot, 33% cabernet sauvignon and 6% malbec. Give it three to four year to open up. Try after 2025.
