Cocoa, smoke, blackberries, black cherries, tobacco leaf, and herbs create the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, vibrant, silky, and soft, with a sweetness to the fruits that meshes perfectly with its lift and energy that carries through to the blackberry, currant, and earthy chocolate packed finish. The wine blends 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2026-2045. 91-93 Pts.

92 vvPunkte / Schöne Frucht, dunkle Beeren, Kräuter, Tee. Im Gaumen zugänglich, weich und rund, feinmaschiges Tannin, knackige Frucht, der Wein hat Kraft und Eleganz, wirkt aktuell noch etwas wild, doch das dürfte sich finde. Langer Nachhall. Kann reifen.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Black plum, sweet spice, blackcurrant and brambles in support. Very slight pyrazine and earth. Medium plus intensity acidity, quite savoury dark fruits,; plum, talc textured tannins are grippy, feisty and chewy. Fruit just about persists and is joined by a little bitterness on the finish
