The 2020 vintage is not quite as good as the excellent 2018 vintage, though very similar in aroma and flavour it is...

I agree with Steve that this vintage does not measure up to the very excellent 2018 (or the unreviewed 2019, for that matter). There is plenty of extract here, but it all doesn't seem to come together and strike the right balance. There is an edgy volatile note that I find a bit off-putting, along with a fair bit of tannin and some alcoholic heat. Quite drinkable, but not a compelling vintage for this reliable pinot.
