Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Black core. Quite reluctant on the nose, but some fresh and lightly leafy black fruit as it opens. More leafy on the palate, juicy, lighter-bodied than most and scented to the end. Some might find it on the lean side but I think it’s balanced. Juicy, perhaps slightly tart on the finish. (JH)

The 2020 Moulin Saint Georges has a more austere, introspective bouquet compared to its peers. Despite its tertiary style, there is fruit here; it just needs time to unlock it. The palate is medium-bodied, delineated and refreshingly saline, with fine-grained tannins and a dash of white pepper toward the finish. This is yet another classy Saint-Émilion to add to the roster. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
The 2020 Moulin St Georges is more marked by its élevage than its brilliant 2019 predecessor (a wine I purchased for my own cellar). Offering up aromas of plums, cherries and spices mingled with prominent notes of coconut and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and racy, reflecting its west-facing limestone terroir, concluding with a saline, somewhat oak-inflected finish that is likely to become better integrated with a bit of bottle age.
