Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,348 g. Plastic cork! Black-fruited, dense, sooty and powerful. Stallion structure, rippling with glossy muscle and a frisson of darkly gleaming danger. Deeper umami soy and roast-mushroom notes on the underlay. Savoury, aggressive finish. One to put away for a long time. (TC)

The Grand Vin 2020 Château Croix De Labrie is brilliant and the finest wine I've tasted from this estate. Dense purple-hued, with a liqueur of limestone-like minerality intermixed with ripe black cherries, boysenberry, spring flowers, and graphite, it's full-bodied, has a wealth of fruit and texture, sweet tannins, and remarkable purity. Its oak is perfectly integrated, and it brings richness as well as an incredible sense of precision and purity. This brilliant Saint-Emilion will be drinkable in just 3-4 years and will evolve for two decades. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
The 2020 Croix de Labrie has a highly perfumed, overly floral bouquet with crushed violet and iris infusing the dark cherry fruit. It manages to retain admirable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied orange peel-tinged opening, harmonious, fine tannins and a fresh, cohesive finish. This is one of the best wines from Axelle and Pierre Courdurié in recent years.
