Chateau du Moulin Neuf AOC Medoc
A very harmonious 2020 Médoc from Château du Moulin Neuf. The nose is ripe and reasonably complex with its fresh and dried dark fruit, hints of espresso and meaty undertones. The palate offers balanced freshness and a velvety texture that lingers through the finish. Drinking well now but should hold well over the short term. 2023-2028–JB
Château Poitevin, AOC Médoc, Cru Bourgeois
Château Poitevin is classified as a Cru Bourgeois producer. This is a classification for Médoc AOC wines that singles out superior estates. Lovers of aged wine flavours (dried fruit, leather, mushroom, etc.) will enjoy this 2014 vintage. There is still lots of freshness and tannic structure alongside these developed notes. Should continue to evolve well over the moderate term. 2023-2029–JB
Terre de Cerf, Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, Vignobles Arbo
Fully mature, jovial Bordeaux with notes of baked plum, forest floor and sandalwood. There is a fine acidity, and the tannins are well-integrated. It is testament to both the quality of the winemaking and the near perfect vintage conditions that this has enduring appeal. Drink now–MP
