2020 Chateau La Violette, Pomerol 1x750ml

Vinous 92

The 2020 La Violette has a high-toned nose with a heavy veneer of new oak. It is attractive in its own way, though it lacks a bit of personality. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy, very ripe entry. Sweet, plush and heady, it boasts confit-like red [Neal Martin, 11/12/2024]

Robert Parker 95

The 2020 La Violette has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and fragrant notes of chocolate-covered cherries, plum preserves and wild blueberries, followed by nuances of rose oil, sandalwood and ground cloves. The medium to full-bodied palate gives layer upon layer of black and blue fruit preserves, framed by silky tannins and lovely freshness, finishing with fantastic length and incredibly perfumed.
