Château Desmirail 2020

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Gilbert & Gaillard

« Rich colour with ruby reflections. On the nose, barely noticeable ageing aromas of jammy red fruit and fresh undergrowth. Ample on the palate, with great aromatic presence. Endless length, still firmly rooted in the fruit. Delicate, gripping tannins. »

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Desmirail rolls out of the glass with expressive notes of raspberry coulis, warm cassis and ripe, juicy black cherries, followed by hints of wild mushrooms, pencil shavings and Marmite toast. The medium-bodied palate is soft and soft-spoken, featuring bags of red and black fruit preserves with just enough freshness, finishing savory.

Jeb Dunnuck

Showing beautifully now from bottle, the 2020 Château Desmirail offers a great perfume of red and blue fruits as well as spring flowers, incense, and new leather. With medium-bodied richness, round, supple tannins, beautiful balance, and remarkable length, it's another outstanding Margaux in 2020 that already offers loads of pleasure. It will evolve for 15+ years.

James Suckling

Blackberries, black olives, wet earth, and iodine. Medium body, medium round tannins and a juicy finish. Orange peel. A tensioned and fine textured wine. Drink after 2025.
