Dark reddish purple in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, cedar, tobacco, graphite, herbs, spices, anise, minerals & hints of vanilla/oak in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with herbs, minerals, spices & a hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drink well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. This wine is quite smooth & polished unlike the rough & rustic wines of past vintages.

Flowers, black raspberries, red and black currants, licorice, oak and spearmint create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is ripe, round and loaded with sweet, vibrant, clean, red berries that taste and feel just great! As I wrote earlier, Cos Labory has really upped their game lately. This makes three solid vintages in a row! Give it just a year or two in the cellar and it promises to be even better. Drink from 2025-2040.

(48% Cabernet Sauvigon, 42% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 13.2% Alkohol) Dunkle Frucht, Tee, Tabak, Kräuter, Cassis. Der Gaumen ist zugänglich, straff, saftig, dunkle, knackige Frucht, sehr gute Struktur, ein Wein mit Rasse und sehr guter Länge. Wird gut reifen, muss sogar etwas reifen. 2030-2045 (Verkostet am 8. November 2022 in Zürich) www.vvwine.ch

At a tasting of recently bottled 2020s. Quite mute on the nose yet strong blackcurrant on the palate. Dark colour, good fruit. Typical St. Estephe in that the tannins will need another 6 to 8 years to subside. Good value at £168 for a half case in bond. 62% Cab Sauvignon 23% Merlot 15% Petit Verdot.
