Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Better than the 2019, more harmonious overall, but looking at the progress of some of its neighbors, there is certainly more potential here than what you see in the glass today. 92-93

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: Mixed berry fruit, partially sweet but unfortunately also partially cooked. Lots of smoky aromas. As a rare occasion in this vintage, the palate actually suffered from too acidity. But the tannin were also rather drying and felt unripe.

Violets, roses and lilies merge with its array of spices, black cherries, black plums and black raspberries on the nose. Silky, fresh, and focused on its tannins. The wine focuses on its structure, balance, and refinement. Supple, and creamy, the finish displays its richness, ripe, deep fruits and energy in every lingering sip. The wine is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, 13.6% ABV, pH 3.75. Harvesting took place September 1 to September 29. Yields were 27 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2055. 95-97 Pts.

Bordeaux 2022 barrel samples and some additional vintages (Solliden in Stockhom): Again one of my favourite Margaux of 2022.
I think it eventually will prove to have more weight than the 2019.

Medium+ nose intensity with notes of black fruits, black currant, flora. Youthful. Medium+ acidity and Long finish. High tannin. Ep tasting.
