Hello everyone. I have almost completed my tastings of the 2021 in bottles. There will be no more big surprises (Petrus not tasted). Basically, even if this vintage is not at the level of 2016, 18, 19, 20 and 22. To my taste it is very often superior to 2014 and 2017 in any case. It is very particular with enormous finesse and above all a precision in defining each terroir that is rarely achieved. A school model if you want to introduce your future alcoholic children. And for old people like me :O), the advantage is that it will be drinkable much faster than its elders. Since I'm swamped with work these days, I only put my best notes. For a rating of a particular wine, do not hesitate to write to me;
(96-98 vvPunkte) 36% der Ernte. 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% CF, 2% PV, Kräftiges Rubin. Die Nase ist tiefgründig und feinduftig, super floral, Veilchen, Rosen, ein Gemälde mit feinen Pixeln, rote und dunkle Beeren, auch Gräser, Kräuter, super komplex. Im Gaumen eine wahre Delikatesse, präzis, schlank und dennoch mit Druck, Top Struktur, die Säure ist frisch, die Tannine seidig, sensationelle Balance, kein Gramm Fett, einfach nur Frische, Harmonie und eine ausgezeichnete Länge. 2028-2055+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Margaux) vvWine.ch

Selections of Bordeaux 2021 from barrel: This blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot gives off lovely floral lead pencil and juicy mid palate blackberry aspects: quite special in 2021. The finish has slightly strict tannin, which should be resolved with barrel aging. The IPT index of 75 is the same as in 2019, but the difference is greater luminosity from the 2019 vintage. Still, a very strong effort here! Solid job as well from the second wine, Pavilion Rouge. (95-96)
