Château La Vieille Cure 2020

New owners for a few years now at La Vieille Cure, and it continues to be one of the go-to names in the appellation. This is a little closed down right now, the oaking a little evident, but the big berry fruits charm their way in after a few moments, as do charred cedar notes and grippy tannins. Enjoyable and confident and overall one of the Fronsacs that is tasting great. Drinking window: 2023-2036. Score - 92. (Jane Anson, decanter.com) 1500 mL bottle
