Richly coloured and immediately inviting, the 2020 Vieux Château Saint André opens with plush aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and sweet spice. The palate is generous yet composed, brimming with dark cherry, blackberry and a hint of mocha, supported by polished, supple tannins and a fine line of freshness. Hints of cedar and tobacco from well-integrated oak lend a savoury edge, rounding out the wine's generous fruit with subtle complexity. A beautifully made Right Bank Bordeaux that combines approachability with structure - charming now, with the potential to evolve gracefully over the coming years.
