  May 8, 2023 - Very floral in its perfume, you also find notes of dark, and milk chocolate, mint, cherry liqueur, plums, and a background touch of espresso. However, it is on the palate where you enjoy the wine at its best. Texturally, this is silk and velvet. There are no hard edges. The fruits are so pure, they taste as if they were just picked from the vineyard. The finish is seamless, moving through its beginning, middle, and end, effortlessly. The sensuous finish sees the 60 second mark and keeps right on going. From a blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc, 14.60% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest took place September 3 - September 9. This is the earliest harvest in the history of the estate. It is great to see continuing strong wines from the Durantou family. Drink from 2027-2060. 98-100 Pts.

  May 1, 2023 - 99 vvPunkte / (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 85% Neuholz, 14.6% Alkohol) Was soll man hier noch sagen, gross, gross, ist das, was für eine Nase, zum Eintauchen, Veilchen soweit das Auge reicht, dunkle Frucht, feine Würze, ein Bouquet das seinesgleichen sucht. Der Gaumen ist weich und rund im Auftakt, die cremige Textur, die knackige Frucht, das Tanninkorsett, das sich erst ganz hinten im Gaumen bemerkbar macht, eine perfekt dosierte Säure, keinerlei Überhang von Alkohol, das ist schon eine ausgezeichnete Harmonie aller Element. Dieser Wein unglaubliches Fruchtkonzentrat, ohne dass er dabei in Schwerfälligkeit abdriftet, das ist wildes Balett mit 100%iger Kontrolle. Ein Pomerol mit bezaubernder Eleganz und unglaublich viel Charme. 2030-2060+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château L'Église Clinet) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  April 24, 2023 - Very good. Quite a big structure, dark fruits, perfume of violets and cassis. Real depth here. Will score much higher when mature.
