Château la Tour de Bessan Margaux 2020

Attractive plum colour, an enticing nose with black cherry, damson and a kiss of oak. The palate opens with chocolate drops and cassis puree, silky tannins, well balanced. This is a wine that I find sometimes inconsistent between vintages, but it’s a great quality 2020 with some appellation signature, good expansion through the mid palate, a little tight on the finish but in the way that makes you feel this is young and will soften further over ageing.
