Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 La Bridane prances out of the glass with pretty notes of Morello cherries, plum preserves and rose oil, plus hints of star anise and allspice, with a hint of fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of juicy red and black fruit, framed by soft, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a spicy kick.

This shows notes of ripe and mellow blackberries with hints of vanilla, toffee and chocolate. Medium-bodied and dense with powdery, chewy tannins and a solid dark fruit backbone. Some savory herbs, too. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Try after 2024.

The 2020 La Bridane has a well-defined bouquet of crisp blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, touches of cedar and a very light peppermint scent developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, silky-smooth entry, a fine line of acidity and seductive black fruit toward the finish. Modern in style and well crafted, this is a Saint-Julien that will be quite delicious to drink over the next 10-12 years.

A medium-bodied, fresh, and lively Saint-Julien, the 2020 Château La Bridane offers ample cassis, spice, and violet nuances to go with subtle background oak, ripe tannins, and wonderful purity of fruit.
