Delas Freres Description
The color is deep crimson. The powerful yet subtle nose of Côte-Rôtie "Seigneur de Maugiron" has blackcurrant, red currant, licorice and smoky aromas, underscored with light woody notes. The palate shows a tightly knit tannic framework. The wine is well-balanced with a silky texture. It unites fine concentration with great delicacy.
This wine pairs well with fine meats, roast beef, water games, truffles and spicy stews. It is recommended to open the bottle one to three hours before serving and decanted if the wine has been laid down for more than five years.
Blend: 100% Syrah
Vinous: 94-95 Points
Saturated ruby-red. Deeply pitched dark berry, cherry liqueur, licorice and woodsmoke scents show fine clarity and acquire oak spice and floral pastille qualities with air. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering intense blackberry, cherry-vanilla, fruitcake and salty olive flavors that are sharpened by a jolt of spicy cracked pepper. Shows excellent depth and power; finishes smoky and very long, with youthfully gripping tannins sneaking in late.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This has an earthy, old-school feel, with licorice root, blackberry and cassis coursing alongside warm graphite, leather and cumin. Gains a jolt of freshness from anise and menthol accents, and there is impressive depth toward the lengthy finish. Best from 2025 through 2035.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92-94 Points
A beautiful wine, the 2020 Côte Rôtie Seigneur De Maugiron has that classic Côte Rôtie elegance and polish, with plenty of black raspberry fruits, notes of bacon fat and spring flowers, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
Wine & Spirits: 90 Points
Muscular and rich, this wine's broad wash of blueberry flavors has a violet accent around the edges, while tannins give just enough shape to the wine. Its peppery, earthy savor outlasts the fruit, which lasts plenty long already.
