  Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): A little milk chocolate joins plums and blackcurrants on the nose backed by cedar, sweet spice and a tiny pinch of alcoholic based prickle here as well. In the mouth it is juicy, plenty of fruit here to marry to the grippy, drying woody tannins that are slightly coarse flour textured. All travel long aided by a little alcohol warmth. Bit on the big side but approachable and yum

  Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Very well done, lots of dark fruit and pine aromas. Fresh, excellent structure, the tannin quality is more polished than in the past.

  Initially, you find a display of flowers before moving on to all of its cigar wrapper, spice, blackberry, currant, black cherry, smoke, and hints of forest leaf in the perfume. Deeply concentrated, vibrant, and refined, the palate is packed with multiple-layers of perfectly, ripe, red fruits, a fabulous sense of purity, silky, soft, polished tannins, and ample lift in the finish, providing the backdrop to age, and evolve for decades. The wine blends 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Petit Verdot. 14.5% ABV, pH 3.92. Picking took place September 7 - September 27. The yields were only 30 hectoliters per hectare. This is in serious contention as the best vintage ever produced at Haut Bailly. Drink from 2027-2060. 98-100 Pts.

  99 vvPunkte / (56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 50% Neuholz 14.5% Alkohol) Kräftiges Rubin. Die Nase sagt "Gänsehaut", tiefgründig, floral, das berührt, hier jubeln die Sinne, was für ein Duft, die Frucht könnte klarer nicht sein. Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert, kein Gramm Fett, pure Präzision, die Gerbstoffe von höchter Güte, seidig und dennoch sehr präsent, umgarnen die delikate Frucht, der Wein zeigt Rasse, Würze und eine hervorragende Länge, hallt minutenlang nach, hinterlässt einen Mix aus dunklen Beeren, Kirschen, Süssholz und floralen Noten, diese Würze, diese Präsision, umwerfend. Das gehört zum Besten, was ich bisher verkosten durfte. Grosse Reserven. 2030-2060+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Haut-Bailly) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
