Cassis, black raspberries, tobacco, spicy wood, and beautiful floral notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Ripeau, a seamless, medium to full-bodied beauty with perfectly integrated oak, an elegant, layered mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's up with the finest vintages I've tasted from this estate and does everything right. It's already accessible given its purity and balance, yet I see no reason this shouldn't evolve nicely for a solid two decades.

The 2020 Ripeau has a slight reduction on the nose, but there is real complexity and terroir expression underneath, with sous-bois and light Earl Grey scents. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, fresh and slightly savory, almost Pomerol-like on the finish. Bravo!

94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Feb 2023)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Ripeau charges out with vibrant blueberries, black cherries, and raspberry preserves scents, followed by hints of cedar chest and iron ore with an earthy charcoal waft. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with red and black berry preserves layers, lifted by spicy cedar and toast notes, finishing long and hedonic.
