Flowers, black cherries, licorice and crushed stone aromatics create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, polished, fresh and silky, allowing all the sweet, ripe, salty red fruits to express themselves in the mid-palate and in the refreshing, mint-accented finish. The wine blends 61% Merlot with 39% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2038.

(93-94 vvPunkte) Expressive Nase, florale Noten, rote Kirschen und Brombeeren, Pflaumen, Gewürze. Im Gaumen rund und weich im Auftakt, dann wird der Wein schlanker, sehr frisch, elegant, ausgewogen bezüglich Frucht und Gerbstoff, die Tannine sind superfein, die Säure delikat, der Wein hat Trinkfluss, zeigt Charme und einen eindrücklich langen, rotfruchtig-floralen Abgang. Ausgezeichnet gelungen und definitiv ein "rising Star" 2025-2042+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Canon/Dourthe) vvWine.ch

Earthy plums, cherries, flowers, and a touch of menthol form the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, soft, bright, silky and fresh, with sweet, ripe, red fruits in the, refined finish. The wine blends 61 % Merlot with 39 % Cabernet Franc 13.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 23 - October 5. Drink from 2023-2038. 91-93

En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Another opportunity to try this wine during EP Plummy with earthy underpin, a little cream, polished oak more in a supporting role on the nose, slight red plum and berry here as well. medium plus intensity acidity, chalky textured tannins but fruit present with this; fresh, fleshy, balanced, long, slight non-intrusive alcohol warmth. Nice to good. Shows as well as earlier this week.

Dark fruit, minerally, a little piquant. High 80s.
