Château La Fleur Peyrabon 2020

Of austere, angular, robust, even somewhat rustic character; it should benefit from some ageing.

Concentrated and a little unforgiving, although there are plenty of black cherry and blackberry fruit together with a shot of black pepper spice. Short on the finish, where the fingers of the tannins show some austerity. Tasted twice.

La Fleur Peyrabon 2020 is deep garnet-purple in color. It leaps with youthful scents of blackcurrants, black cherries, and fragrant earth, followed by wafts of wild sage and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate is lively and energetic, with crunchy black fruits and a vibrant finish.

A lovely nose of supple red fruits, with an innocent coquettish charm. Supple and sumptuous on the palate, simple and delectable. An authentic wine that will give a great deal of pleasure.

Surprisingly light wine this year. Medium body and length.

92–94. Barrel Sample. This comes from the smaller portion of Château Peyrabon that is in Pauillac. The vineyard has produced a textured, firm wine, showing great black currant fruits from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is properly structured and will certainly age.
