"The effect of the warm and dry year was evident in the 2020 Massal 1945 Carm,nŠre, especially when tasted next to the wine from the cooler 2021. This is creamy and has a roundness in the palate. It has 14.1% alcohol, mellow acidity and abundant, fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021."
