Garzon Petit Clos Block #487 Marselan 2020

A brooding marselan showing some freshness from the wealth of ripe blackberry fruit. Some violets, graphite, iodine, hot stones and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, underpinned by powerful but creamy tannins. Generous fruit and minerals in a tight, focused finish. Better from 2025. Score – 94.
