May 14, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Blueberries and vanilla dominate the nose. Full-bodied with good structure and freshness. A great wine, always good value for money.

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:
After a strong 2019 and an ok 2020, this seems to be taking the elevator down to the basement with the 2022 vintage. Ripe and concentrated fruit with notable heat and a distracting nail polish feature. Not improving on the palate which felt soapy, lacked mid-palate, showed green, unripe tannin and ended in an abrupt finish.4 people found this helpful Comment -

May 8, 2023 - Deep, and dark in color, the wine opens with flowers, oceanic influences, plums, smoke, licorice, and black cherries. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, opulent, polished, vibrant, silky and fresh, finishing with multiple layers of chocolate-covered, plums, black cherries, espresso, crushed stones and spices. What makes everything work here is the balance, freshness, and purity in the fruits. The wine blends 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14.2% ABV. Drink from 2027-2055. 96-98 Pts.

May 1, 2023 - 99 vvPunkte / (50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.2% Alkohol) Was für ein Duft, wunderbar komplex, expressiv und gleichzeitig still und bei sich, sehr tiefgründig, mit floralen Noten, dunklen Beeren und einem Hauch Sahne. Im Gaumen frisch, lebendig, sehr elegant, kein Gramm Fett, top knackige Frucht, die Kalk-Tannine umgarnen die Frucht, das hat Rasse und Schliff, ein fast nicht enden wollendes Finale. Ein monumentaler Wein, mit viel Finesse und grossem Potential. 2030-2060+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Canon la Gaffelière) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
