  Black cherries, licorice, spice, and smoky mint aromas hit the perfume. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, vibrant, fresh, and energetic with a savory, earthy, herbal-edged cherry tone that stays with you from the mid-palate through to the finish. This will be easy to enjoy on release, and for over the next decade. The wine is a blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2024-2035.

  (91-93 vvPunkte) 58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon (junge Reben) 70% der Parzellen sind quasi immer dazu da, in den Zweitwein zu gehen. Das Jahr 2021 enthält Wein aus einer Merlot-Parzelle, die sonst in den Grand Vin gehen würde. 13.2% Alkohol. Feinduftig und floral, Veilchenaromen, dazu dunkle Frucht, etwas Pflaumen und ein Hauch Blutorangen. Im Gaumen schlank, frisch, lebendig, man möchte gleich schlucken, runde, reife Tannine, diese sind nicht zu stark ausgeprägt, sie umgarnen die knackige Frucht, welche im Abgang rotfruchtig nachhallt. Sehr auf Finesse gekeltert und mit viel Charme. 2026-2040 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Calon Ségur)

  Spicy black raspberries, thyme and cherry aromatics start off the wine. Medium-bodied, fresh, soft, silky and already seemingly drinkable, this should be easy to enjoy on release, with its soft, cherry, spice, mint and plum finish. Drink from 2023-2034. The wine is a blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.2% ABV. Drink from 2023-2034. 89-91

  En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Plummy initially over blackcurrant, plenty of polished oak, a little fruit lozenge note as well. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity, softly engaging on the palate, easy with a lightweight, relatively silky tannic burr, medium plus length, slightly savoury bur rather good in a lighter style.

  This year the alcohol level kicks it old school. More merlot on the nose. And the franchies are kinda making a thing about it. With some tart and tang. One sip call for another one says the gorgeous tasting assistant. It's young cabernwt vines but not nessiccariarly young merlot.
