Enjoyably slick toasting of cedar and liquorice root, black cherry, silky texture and a good bounce through the tannins. This is expertly done, sleek and hard to argue with. Drinking Window 2023 – 2034

The 2020 Domaine de L’A is incredibly reticent today. Given how well it ages, that should not be a huge concern. Dark-fleshed fruit, graphite and spice gradually open with a bit of coaxing, all framed by bright saline notes that build into the persistent finish. I imagine the 2020 is going to need a number of years to shine. It is a hugely promising wine, even in the very early going.

Displaying a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Domaine de l’A sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notes of crushed blueberries, fresh blackberries and preserved plums, plus hints of lilacs, star anise and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals impressive tension and energy, featuring bright, crunchy black fruits and a velvety texture, finishing with a minty lift.
