  "Red fruit elements with high acidity - though chalky and salty - but the tannins make the impression right now giving some tension and strictness to the palate and just constructing the fruit. The tannins are ripe, so there is a gentle chew but it’s combined with clove spice giving the angles. Characterful but needs some time to come together."

  Falstaff
  "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart nach Gewürznelken, reife Pflaumen, dunkle Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, etwas Kardamom. Mittlerer Körper, feiner Nougat, reife Kirschen, integrierte Tannine, würziger Abgang, schokoladiger Nachhall, mineralischer Nachhall."

  "Spicy and herbal with peppercorns, nutmeg, cumin, olives, coriander and black fruit on the nose. Medium body. Tight, chewy tannins. Earthy and rustic edge at the end. Better in 2024."

  "Coming from the Moulis region, the 2020 Château Maucaillou is a forward, charming, incredibly complex beauty delivering both red and black fruits, some tobacco and leafy herb notes, nicely integrated oak, soft tannins, and solid length on the finish. I don't see this making old bones, but it's going to deliver lots of pleasure over the coming 7-8 years."
