Tasting notes
The 2020 Duo de Conseillante has a crisp bouquet with dark berry fruit, touches of Xmas cake and allspice in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with gritty tannins on the entry, quite peppery in style, fresh and quite saline with the Cabernet Franc somewhat dominant on the tobacco-tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.

The 2020 Duo de Conseillante is a lovely second wine. Vibrant, floral and juicy the Duo is everything a second wine should be. Bright red and blue fruit and lavender are nicely delineated in this mid-weight, nuanced Pomerol. This is an especially easygoing style. Drink it over the next decade.
