Bordeaux 2020
With masks in the vineyards, harvesters separated into bubbles, and social distancing in the cellars, 2020 is a year that no winemakers will want to repeat.
Yet the wines in 2020 are something to treasure. From a growing season with two distinct halves, I’ve tasted some astonishingly good wines, that show the very best of their revered terroirs.
2020 represents the third in a trilogy of impressive vintages from Bordeaux. Following the powerful 2018s, and the beautifully balanced 2019s, 2020 is a vintage that combines richness and power with bright freshness, with wines that consistently surprise and delight.
