Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Fresh, creamy citrus aroma. Smells of Sémillon more than Sauvignon, even though it is 75% Sauvignon. Juicy, crisp, balanced but not complex. Decent length. (JH)

The 2020 Château de Fieuzal has an attractive, cedar-infused nose with touches of briar and black olive tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy, sharp tannins and a sweetness toward the finish that feels a bit cloying. Fine. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Offering up aromas of sweet mulberries and blackberries mingled with hints of licorice, violets and red fruit compote, the 2020 de Fieuzal is medium to full-bodied, rich and gourmand, its broad attack segueing into a supple, layered mid-palate that's framed by ripe acids and sweet, powdery tannins. This is a deeper, more powerful Fieuzal than its 2019 counterpart.
