Looks like Antonio Galloni agreed with my comments as he gave the Pavie Macquin (sadly just about sold out) and Canon 100 points! I also added more Pape Clement and the high-scoring Cantenac Brown. I'm already seeing prices skyrocket on these wines so buy them at or near release price while you still can! -Phil Bernstein
UPDATE 2/1/2023:
"Bordeaux 2020…incredible vintage. Similar in style to 2010, if not a touch more elegance." -Jeb Dunnuck
As you can see from the above quote the wine press is gearing up to release their bottle scores on the outstanding 2020 Bordeaux. The last in the great trilogy of 2018-2020, we've been impressed by these since the very beginning (when our negociant friends were nice enough to ship over loads of barrel samples for us to taste).
There is almost no 2020 left to buy from the Negoce at release price, so once the wines from the below list are sold... that's it!
We now have some notes from the UGC 2020 Bordeaux tasting from both our own Phil Bernstein and our good friend Panos Kakaviatos up on the site Thursday. Worth the read for sure and now is the time to buy as many of he wines are still at release price. That will not last!
We expect many of these wines to start arriving in the Spring so now is a great time to buy! -Phil Bernstein
"We are accustomed to the Bordelais cranking out the hyperbole to the point where even they have begun taking their own words with a large pinch of salt. But the truth is that generally the 2020 does form the third in a trilogy of great vintages after 2018 and 2019." Neal Martin, Vinous Media
ETA Spring 2023
Most wines will be packed in wood six packs.
First growths and a few other higher priced offerings will be in wood three packs.

The 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot is a dense, powerful wine. A rush of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and sweet oak builds as this towering, vertically explosive Saint-Émilion opens in the glass. This is an especially broad, expansiv...
The 2020 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse), made mostly by the team of Nicolas Thienpont (the final blend was put together by Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse), is another tour de force from this incredible terroir, and undeniably one of the wines of the ...
The 2020 Branaire-Ducru was so alluring en primeur, but is very shy today.

menthol and licorice emerge, but only w...
The 2020 Canon La Gaffelière is heady, sumptuous and totally exotic. A

cloves all saturate the palate. The...

flowers infuse the Chapelle with notable ...

The 2020 Clinet is hugely impressive, as it was from barrel. Dark and
imposing, with notable vibrancy, the 2020 offers up an exotic mélange of
black cherry, gravel, incense, plum, game and licorice. I would give this a
few years in bottle, as the tanni...
The 2020 Domaine de Chevalier is brilliant. Bright, poised and wonderfully
