Chateau La Gaffeliere, Saint-Emilion, France 2020 Deidesheim peachy fruit and delicate white-currantThe 2020 La Gaffelire has an intriguing, complex nose, a mlange of red and black fruit, cigar box, undergrowth and mint, quite mercurial in the glass as it opens with aeration. The palate is medium bodied with lithe tannins, a beautiful seam of acidity and perhaps the most satin like texture I have encountered on a young La Gaffelire. It sashays to a harmonious and precise finish and lingers with wonderful mineralit. This is a magnificent prospect. 98
