2020, Château Cambon la Pelouse, HAUT-MÉDOCBordeaux Blend. Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet franc, Carmnre (1%). The 2020 Cambon La Pelouse has a touch of over ripeness on the nose at the expense of the detail of some of its peers. The palate is medium bodied with sapid black fruit. It shows more finesse than the aromatics with a zesty, quite focused and tensile finish. If the nose can improve, this will certainly deserve a higher score. 87+ Neal Martin, Vinous. Attractive
