  Medium-bodied, earthy, vibrant, and focused on its core of flowers, espresso, chocolate-covered plums, black raspberries, and a sprig of mint, the wine lacks the intensity, and concentration found in the more recent, exalted vintages. Still, there is a lot to love here with its regal airs, silky-tannins, and lush, supple, polished, vibrant, creamy-textured finish. This is really quite strong, especially when you consider the difficulties in the vintage. Drink from 2025-2050.

  (94-96 vvPunkte) (95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot) Dunkles Rubin. Die Nase ist reiffruchtig und tiefgründig, Pflaumen und eingemachte Brombeeren, dazu Kräuter, Weihnachtsgewürze, ein Hauch Rosentee. Der Auftakt ist straff, konzentriert, markante Struktur, relativ viel Tannin, dieses kontert die satte Frucht, die Elemente sind in sehr guter Balance. Langer, wiederum reiffruchtiger Abgang mit einem Mix aus roten und dunklen Beeren und einer delikaten Mineralik. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. J.P. Moueix) vvWine.ch

  A bit unresolved with what felt like a bit of high toned cool fruit going. Christian noted that global warming isn't bad for all places - apparently its going to be good for Pomerol.

  Deep garnet in color, the wine opens with flowers, chocolate, truffles, licorice, espresso, dark plums, and red pit fruits. Plush, soft, and polished on the palate, with supple-textured, silky fruits in the elegant and almost flamboyant, sensuous finish. This is really quite strong, especially when you consider the difficulties in the vintage. The wine blends 95% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The harvest took place September 23 - October 6. Drink from 2025-2049. 93-95
