Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Deeply coloured. Aromatic and lightly leafy. Some might describe it as ‘green’, which may be positive or negative depending on your taste. It is a bit lean for me, though it has freshness and balance in this leafy style. (JH)

The 2020 Mauvesin Barton has a generous bouquet with perfumed brambly red fruit, briar and light pencil box notes. The palate is medium-bodied and well defined, albeit quite leafy, with a ripe, vivacious entry and a touch of brown spice livening things up. It has good weight and grip on the mid-palate and finishes with gusto. This should give over a decade of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
The 2020 Château Mauvesin Barton brings more density and depth, yet it still has a more mid-weight, forward, pretty, and elegant style. A blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, it offers up lots of red and black fruits, some spicy, dried herbs, and violet nuances, soft tannins, and a clean, lengthy finish. This balanced, elegant Moulis will keep for 10-12 years or more.
