May 11, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 barrel tasting event (Papiersaal Sihlcity, Zürich): Main takeaways: 1/ Despite a considerable amount of hype, this came across as bi-polar vintage with for every insanely good wine at least one dead-on-arrival counterpart. 2/ High alcohol levels, over-extraction and cooked fruit appear to be common pitfalls. 3/ Top wines were 1. Figeac (98), 2. Brane Cantenac (97), 3. Les Carmes Haut Brion (96). Full list of 20 wines and scores in included in the tasting story.
Tasting note:
A ripe profile with cassis, cherry confit and red currant fruit, fresh herbs. There was depth to it and even some polish. The palate mirrored the ripeness and concentration, with notable heat but in decent balance. At this stage felt like a slightly below-average, but respectable Poyferré.3 people found this helpful 3,559 views
