Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 96-98/100
The 2020 La Gaffelière has an intriguing, complex nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, cigar box, undergrowth and mint, quite mercurial in the glass as it opens with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a beautiful seam of acidity and perhaps the most satin-like texture I have encountered on a young La Gaffelière. It sashays to a harmonious and precise finish and lingers with wonderful mineralité. This is a magnificent prospect.

The Wine Advocate – 96-98/100
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 La Gaffeliere gallops out of the glass with exuberant scents of crushed black plums, boysenberries and fresh blackberries, plus hints of eucalyptus, dark chocolate, crushed rocks and iron ore, with a waft of lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with compelling energy, delivering layers of black and red berries with fantastic tension and finely grained tannins, finishing very long and wonderfully minerally.

J.M. Quarin – 95/100
Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez intense, très aromatique, fin, subtil et noble. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, parfumé, suave, le vin évolue noble au toucher, sur une belle finale savoureuse au grain fin. C’est long et très bon. Assemblage : 60 % merlot, 40 % cabernet franc.
