Mauvesin Barton - Moulis 2020

TASTED

89 / 100

byAndreas Larssonthe7/6/2021

Classic rather tannic style but fine ripeness this year, attractive dark fruit, ripe black currant and plum notes with modest oak, good length, an age worthy stye that should age and soften for a few years.

The 2020 Mauvesin Barton is silky, gracious and full of charm. Sweet floral aromatics and bright red berry fruit give this midweight, understated Moulis tons of immediacy and appeal. Such a pretty wine.

Melanie Barton has now been in charge at Mauvesin-Barton for 10 years, and there is a real feeling of the wine having found its voice - a gentle, fruit-forward Moulis with finesse if not a huge amount of power. Delicate with vibrancy, plenty of blackberry fruits with well-defined but soft tannins, they have really done a great job in the vintage, a value pick and I can't remember tasting a better example of this wine during en primeur. They suffered badly from frost in 2021.

Bien que classique, le nez est frais, légèrement mentholé et un peu graphite. En bouche, c'est droit, la densité est moyenne, les tanins serrent un peu en finale. Une bouteille qui pourrait s'exprimer après les élevages.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Kräuterwürzig, tabakig unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Velourleder. Mittlerer Körp- er, rotbeerig, zart nach Kirschen, präsente Tannine, vegetale Nuancen im Abgang, etwas Gerbstoff im Nachhall.
