The 2020 Château des Quarts which Merlin reminded me he bought the fruit from between 2003 and 2011 before buying the property with Dominique Lafon has a refined bouquet fine mineralité with hints of white flower and wild mint. The palate is very focused with impressive density fine acidity and a limestone-driven finish.
Moderate reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background so a thorough aeration would be in order. Otherwise there is excellent mid-palate density to the opulent and mouthcoating medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the powerful sleek impressively long and utterly beguiling finale. This is very good and a wine that could be enjoyed in its youth or held over the mid-term.
