£78.97 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Arbois red 2020 Trousseau de Messagelin is clearly the finest vintage I have tasted from this wine, despite playing with the disadvantage of being from a warm and ripe year, much more challenging than 2016, the last one I had tasted, when they were already getting more defined and less wild. This has notes of wild strawberries, more fruit from a more solar year, with a vegetal side, delicate and definitely coming as fresh, overcoming the natural conditions of the vintage. Yes, there is still a faint animal touch and a small hint of funkiness that adds complexity (and fun) to the wine. Not for the faint of heart.
