July 14, 2023 - Wow, wine of the night for me in a flight of around 29 right and left bank en primeur bordeaux at the Langham. Vibrant colour presents a fruit-driven nose dominated by varied berries commands attention, given depth by intriguing mineral hints. On the palate, the wine asserts itself with medium tannins, giving structure to the berry flavours that dance around, leading to a complex aftertaste that is nothing short of fascinating. What shines through is the harmonious blend of freshness, structure, and succulent fruit that lends the wine its standout character, earning it a personal rating of 95. The promise of evolution is palpable and thrilling in every sip, however my judgement is based on how the wines are drinking now.

July 12, 2023 - Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): Ripe plums, oak spice, very slight touch of alcohol prickle, simple though pleasant nose. And equally pleasant on the palate, plummy fruit retains it freshness, tannins are softly textured and persist long, alcohol warmth is present but managed. Rather nice.

May 8, 2023 - Roses, chocolate-covered plums, smoke, licorice, and scorched earth form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is long, rich, silky, fresh, and loaded with layers of dark cocoa-covered plums, licorice and black cherries, There is more richness than you normally find here, along with silky-tannins, lift, and opulence in the finish. A bit more Cabernet in the blend really made a difference this year. The wine blends 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2026-2042. 93-95 Pts.

May 1, 2023 - 95 vvPunkte / Das Bouquet dieses Weins ist insofern faszinierend, als dass es eine fast schon Toskanische Aromatik ausstrahlt, die Veilchenblüten, Früchtetee, dunkle und rote Beerenfrucht, Brombeeren und Kirschen dominieren. Im Gaumen straff, dicht und doch hochelegant, der Wein zeigt viel Struktur, hat Rasse und Frische, die Gerbstoffe sind markant, die Säure wirkt stimmig, im Abgang rotfruhtig geprägt und mit würzigem Finish. Vorzügliche Qualität, kerniger Charakter. 2032 bis 2058 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 in den Büros von J.P. Moueix in Libourne) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
