Château Bouscaut 2020

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 61% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Malbec, the 2020 Bouscaut has a deep purple-black color and notes of warm cassis, stewed black plums and black cherry pie, followed by hints of tar, licorice and Indian spices. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with juicy black fruits and ripe, rounded tannins, backed up by a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.

This estate continues to produce brilliant wines, and their 2020 Château Bouscaut is no exception. Exhibiting a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a great nose of red and black currants, leafy herbs, scorched earth, and lead pencil shavings, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Count me impressed. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for upwards of two decades.

James Suckling

A tight yet juicy young red with blackberry, raw dark mushroom and bark aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a dense center palate and solid tannins. 61% merlot, 33% cabernet sauvignon and 6% malbec. Give it three to four year to open up. Try after 2025.
