Aromas of dark berries, loamy soil and pencil shavings preface the 2020 Pedésclaux, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent wine that's let down by somewhat austere, drying tannins that assert themselves on the finish. Perhaps time will be kind to it?
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pedesclaux charges out of the gate with energetic notes of crushed blackberries, black raspberries and ripe blackcurrants, followed by suggestions of menthol, aniseed, violets and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate quivers with vibrant, crunchy black and red berries layers, framed by firm, ripe tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and deliciously savory.
