Antonio Galloni - 91 Points

"The 2020 Clos de l'Oratoire retains the precocious bouquet it demonstrated from barrel: black cherries, boysenberry and fresh fig hints. There's plenty of energy and a soupçon of exoticism. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. A little firmness provides the backbone and adequate salinity with an unpretentious, approachable finish. This is a charming 2020 that will offer 15-20 years of drinking pleasure."
