Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 de la Huste has a deep purple-black color, bursting from the glass with flamboyant notes of crushed blackberries, blueberry pie and ripe black raspberries, plus suggestions of violets, mocha and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black and blue fruits, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and impressive freshness, finishing long and perfumed. A beautiful powerhouse! Barrel Sample: 92-94

James Suckling
Fresh dark cherries and plums to the nose with some fine spices and hibiscus. This is simple yet crunchy and sappy on the palate, showing some nice, immediate appeal. Concise and fruity.

Decanter
Fairly subdued right now, this has broad shoulders and some touches of reduction on the nose. Good quality, great texture really feels deep and rich, with bitter black chocolate streaking through the black cherry compote. Reserved though, these are big tannins.
Barrel Sample: 90 -
Wine Spectator
A fresh and unadorned style, this red offers a pure beam of damson plum and floral notes that are carried by fine, chalky minerality through the finish. Reveals a pretty tobacco echo. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030.
