I also tasted the red varietal Listán Prieto (a.k.a. País, Criolla Chica, Mission) 2020 Benje Tinto from a similarly dry and warm vintage as 2019, vinified and aged in the same way with indigenous yeasts and matured in neutral oak barrels for eight months. It feels a little closed (reductive?) but with a great palate. It feels like these 2020s have very fine tannins and velvety textures. Give it a little bit of time, but this will be as good as the 2019. 20,000 bottles and 200 magnums were produced. It was bottled in June 2021.

The 2016 Cap de Faugeres (composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a medium garnet-purple color and reveals notions of warm plums, blackberry pie and black raspberries with touches of pencil shavings and sautéed herbs. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and good core of black fruits, it finishes on a long-lasting earthy note.

2020 Clos des Fous Subsollum Pinot Noir

The 2020 Subsollum Pinot Noir comes through as serious and austere despite the warm vintage, with only 13.5% alcohol and good freshness. Only 15% of the wine matured in oak, and it only adds a faint note of spice. The vineyard was planted in 2007 with Burgundy selections of Pinot. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in concrete and 15% in barrel. It's a different profile from the more approachable Pour ma Gueule, more serious. 9,786 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021.
