Quite floral in nature, with additional nuances of cherries, licorice, espresso, black raspberries, and a touch of chocolate that creates the perfume. The palate is medium-bodied, with vibrant red berries, cocoa, crushed rocks, and chalk that add to the complexity and finish. This is going to drink well young, yet have the ability to age and evolve for 15 years. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2024-2040.

(90-92 vvPunkte) 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Kräftiges Purpur. Die Nase ist anfangs zurückhaltend, offenbart dann Pflaumen und etwas Kirschen, darüber steinige Noten. Im Gaumen straff, mittlerer Körper, saftig und frisch, dann packt der Gerbstoff zu, überlagert die Frucht, diese kämpft sich zurück. Im Abgang von guter Länge und mit dunkelfruchtigen Rückaromen. Auf der mächtigen Seite in diesem Jahr, mit Reserven. 2025-2045 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Barde-Haut) vvWine.ch

Licorice, black cherry, espresso and herbs are on the nose. Medium-bodied, soft, elegant, polished and fresh, this should drink well young, yet have the ability to age and evolve for 15-20 years. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2024-2040. 92-94
