Chocolate-covered plums, black cherries, flowers, espresso, spice, and licorice create the intense perfume. The palate offers an elegant, firm, classy profile, which is the perfect backdrop for all the ripe, dark, red pit fruits, cocoa, and salty chocolate. There is intensity. vibrancy, and a regal, structure with a long, complex finish here that really works. As I wrote in my barrel tastings, in some ways, this reminds me of the best attributes from previous classic vintages that are now aged into maturity. Drink from 2027-2060.

(97-99 vvPunkte) (100% Merlot). Rubinrot. Faszinierende Nase, sehr floral, ein Mosaik aus dunklen und roten Früchten, einem Tick Haselnuss, super nuanciert, rauchige Noten, Süssholz, später Himbeeren, ein Gedicht. Der Gaumen ist super frisch, knackige Frucht, ausgezeichnete Struktur, natürlich ist hier Kraft mit im Spiel, doch die Eleganz ist bestechend, dominieren in sogenannt grossen Jahren die Kraft und Konzentration überwiegen hier Eleganz und Frische. Knackig und saftig mit einem ausgezeichnet langen Finale. Grosses Kino. 2025-2045+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. J.P. Moueix) vvWine.ch

Asian spice, truffle, chocolate, espresso, fennel and dark red pit fruits are all over the place, on the nose and palate here. Classic, vibrant, refined, and also reticent at the moment, this reminds me in some ways of the best attributes from previous classic vintages that are now aged into maturity. The finish is filled with dark, red pit fruits, espresso, spice, and a touch of fresh mint with a hint of salted plums on the backend. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot. The harvest took place September 27-October 4. Drink from 2026-2055. 94-96
