Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Taillefer leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of black cherry preserves, boysenberries and prunes, plus wafts of camphor, cardamom and espresso with a touch of bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate has lovely freshness lifting all that rich, black fruit, supported by grainy tannins and finishing on a lingering savory note.

Varietal

Merlot

With its dark blue colored fruits and high juice content, Merlot varietal grapes have long been a favorite of wine producers around the globe, with it being found in vineyards across Europe, the Americas and elsewhere in the New World. One of the distinguishing features of Merlot grapes is the fact that they have a relatively low tannin content and an exceptionally soft and fleshy character, meaning they are capable of producing incredibly rounded and mellow wines. This mellowness is balanced with plenty of flavor, however, and has made Merlot grapes the varietal of choice for softening other, more astringent and tannin-heavy wines, often resulting in truly exceptional produce. Merlot is regarded as one of the key 'Bordeaux' varietals for precisely this reason; when combined with the drier Cabernet Sauvignon, it is capable of blending beautifully to produce some of the finest wines available in the world.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

James Suckling

Fresh, spiced plums, cassis and a hint of mushroom and graphite to the nose. The medium-bodied palate shows good crunch and firm tannins. Pretty long, spicy and linear. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. Drink now.

Vinous Media

The 2020 Taillefer is forward and luscious, just as it was en primeur. Succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, tobacco and incense are nicely pushed forward. This mid-weight, supple Pomerol is a total charmer.

Highly perfumed and aromatic on the nose which is scented and inviting. Linear and focused, streamlined, still with depth and structure. There are layers here: cool freshness, mint and liquorice, rather than weight. Still feels a bit compact, like it's pent up, sleeping maybe, but lovely definition. Cool and graceful in a confident way. Striking.
