2020 tastes darker and denser, but I wouldn’t say it tastes like Syrah. There are plenty of 2015s and 2016s that are equally dark fruited (at a lunch in Beaune this year several people called a 2015 Barthod 1er cru a Syrah); I think 2005 is a good comparison to 2005 - a warm and very structured vintage. Not every vintage is designed to or meant to be drunk young. For people who want to drink their wines very early, yes, I agree, 2020 isn’t a good vintage, but a lot of vintages are not.
Rounding back to this: Chave Hermitage and brett - opinions? - #5 by Greg_K
I think for a lot of producers who use whole cluster brett wasn’t an issue previously because temperatures weren’t high enough for it to matter; now that temperatures are higher, that’s no longer the case. I expect it will take some time for this to be more apparent and we’ll probably be talking about this period as somewhat marred by brett for some producers for whom it wasn’t a problem before.
