  Deep purple in hue, the wine pops with blackberries, black cherries, licorice, flowers, wet earth, and blue fruit on the nose. The palate, is rich, lush, and packed with layers of chalk, black cherries, chocolate, espresso and 5 spice. The finish is creamy, vibrant, and loaded with sweet, ripe, dark red fruits that linger. The wine is made from blending 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. 15% ABV, 3.45 pH. The harvest took place September 10-October 3. Yields were 39 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2026-2048. 95-97 Pts.

  95 vvPunkte / Drei Mal verkostet. Ja, ich habe ein Faible für diesen Wein, doch diese Nase ist einfach zum Eintauchen, fruchtige, würzige und florale Aromen tanzen um die Wette, ein Mix aus dunklen und roten Beeren, ein Hit. Im Gaumen dicht, sensationelle Frucht, viel Gerbstoff, feine Säure, der Wein hat Rasse und Kraft, bleibt dabei elegant und offenbart im Abgang ein ausgesprochen langes Aromenfinale. Einmal mehr, ausgezeichnet und sicherlich jeden Cent wert! 2030-2055 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / Vintex / Château Ripeau) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Plums, sweet spice, a little caramel, slightly baked earth, a touch of concentrated black fruits; like a blackcurrant cordial note. Juicy, black fruits; plums; blackcurrant, a little hard bitter note to the drying tannins that prove coarse flour textured. Medium plus length. Hmm. Time.
