95 Points

Saturday, July 8, 2023 - Rustic bouquet, leaning toward Saint-Julien. Blackcurrant, Crème de cassis, blackberry, herbs, and graphite standout. Restrained and intriguing.

All elements, however restrained, toy with the senses. The wine has begun to lock down, as have other quality Left Bank offerings of this vintage. This noted, the wine does not overtly offer the layers one might expect of a highly touted (by some professional wine marketers) First Growth. Conversely, its compactness and precision suggest it will enjoy a three decade maturation curve. In this context, noteworthy improvement seems possible. 95-96...97.
