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 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux.
Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more
refined Saint-Estèphes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness,
lavender, licorice, menthol and c...
The 2020 Laroque is even better than the en primeur sample. Dark and
enveloping, with tons of class, Laroque is a winner. Succulent dark
plum, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice and pipe tobacco give the 2020
tons of nuance. Laroque is class personied. W...
The 2020 Latour-Martillac has an impressive, quite engaging bouquet with
blackberry, incense, graphite and faint touches of black olive. This is very
harmonious and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain
tannins, very well balanced, ...
The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is very clearly one of the great, great wines of
the Left Bank in 2020. All the elements are in perfect balance. A wine of
total sensuality and nuance, Mouton is all finesse in 2020, all elegance. An
explosion of dark cherry ...
The 2020 Palmer is exceptional. Soft, seamless and ample, the Grand Vin
caresses the palate with stunning depth and intensity. Super-ripe black
cherry, licorice, cloves, menthol and chocolate meld together in the glass.
As always, Palmer is made from b...
Pure perfection in red wine, the 2020 Château Pavie checks in as 50% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, all raised in 75% new French oak. Absolutely incredible in every way, it has a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, smoked ...
The 2020 Pavie Macquin is sensational. Rich, dark and explosive, the 2020
balances the natural richness that is such a signature of the estate with a
level of energy and vibrancy I have not seen here in the recent past. The
result is a towering, imposi...
This is very chewy with dusty tannins and blackberry and blueberry character. Some chocolate, too. Full and layered. Such beautiful violet and black-cherry quality at the end with some raspberries, 56% cabernet sauvignon. 34% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and...
The 2020 Quintus is one of the most successful renditions of this wine to date, offering up aromas of dark cherries, wild berries, sweet spices and licorice framed by nicely integrated new oak. Full-bodied, seamless and integrated, it's fleshy and layered...
