Unfortunately, it's not my style. Although the 2020 Petit Castel is a well-made wine, it's too young and harsh. Intense bouquet of dark fruits, leather, tobacco and pine. Well-balanced, almost full-bodied and warm. The aftertaste is long with flavours of fruits, tobacco and dark chocolate. Not very complex.
