Critical opinion
Benchmark critic Neal Martin scored the wine 93-95, saying it, “offers plenty of finely chiseled scents” and had a “sense of refinement on the finish”.
Jane Anson at Decanter scored it 93 and James Lawther MW for JancisRobinson.com marked it 16.
Fair value
The Liv-ex Fair Value methodology suggests that the 2020 release is within what would be considered ‘fair value’.
Nonetheless, those looking for opportunities among the estate’s back vintages have many options. Remaining stocks of the 2019 at a 5% discount to the 2020 and with a slightly stronger score from Neal Martin is a clear option.
There is also value to be had from the 2014 to 2018 vintages which all carry scores between 92 and 94 and at varying discounts to the 2020.
