CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Composed of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2020 Mangot is scented of ripe black plums, blackberry preserves and black cherry compote, followed by hints of licorice, dark chocolate and cardamom, with a waft of wild mushrooms. The medium to full-bodied palate gives a great intensity of juicy black fruits with soft, rounded tannins and just enough freshness to support, finishing earthy.

The 2020 Château Mangot is 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a solid, medium-bodied profile, with plenty of dark fruit, but theres a distinct, herbal, almost vegetal character that certainly detracts from what would be normally be an outstanding wine. Give it 2-3 years and maybe, hopefully, this green, celery seed-like character will disappear.
