Lightish, but pencilly, minerally in classic Duhart Milon form. The fruit builds on the mouth and there's a surprising but qutie nice bergamot note. 91-92

UGC 2021 Bordeaux (Vibiana, Los Angeles, CA): There is a real brawny quality to the nose that is a nice changeup from many of the other wines on the day. The tones of dark red cherries, earth notes, raspberries, blackberries, currants, spice box, licorice, kirsch liqueur tones, and violets. The Medium bodied feel is well balanced and shows off some of the brawniness of the nose with medium acidity and chewy, medium tannins. The tannins are a little stiff and slightly underripe while it lacks a bit of depth across the nose and palate. If this can add depth and if the tannins resolve well, this can improve by a good amount.

(92-94 vvPunkte) Florale Nase, hellfruchtig, auch schwarze Johannisbeeren sehr feminin, die Röstnoten dezent im Hintergrund, ein schönes Parfüm. Im Auftakt straff, gradlinig und mit guter Struktur ausgestattet, lebendig, zeigt Finesse, Balance und Trinkfluss, die Tannine machen sich erst ganz hinten bemerkbar, im Abgang mit sehr guter Länge und wiederum floralen Rückaromen. Faszinierend und herrlich frisch. 2027-2045 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. UGCB/Château Lafite Rothschild) vvWine.ch

UGC Bordeaux 2021, SF: Good round, smooth fruit. Smoky. Not overdone. Very good, one of the better wines of the day.

UGC Bordeaux (Drake Hotel - Chicago IL): Walkaround tasting with the producers. Bold flack fruits to start, simpler in the middle, sturdy finish.
