Chateau de Charmes 2020 Equuleus

This is the Chateau's Bordeaux blend they make in those best years, the one that'll be good in 20 years or more. First, let's talk about the wine: this version of the eculius is full of cherry, cranberry and smokey characteristics; the wine shows an elegance with its silky tannins and good acid backbone. But here's where I push back on the age ability of the wine... This is the most accessible aquilous I have ever tasted, meaning I doubt this has the 20-year plus lifespan of previous versions. Time will tell, but I wouldn't bet the farm. Drink 5 to 7 years.  Price: $60.00 - Rating: ****
