  This elegant expression of Pauillac displays its wealth of cassis, blackberries, chocolate, and flowers easily in the perfume. The palate, however, is where this shines. The layers of ripe, sweet, crème de cassis, peppery, currants, licorice, dark cocoa, and a touch of citrus meld together perfectly. The wine is refined, clean, packed with fruit, reasonably forward, and filled with character. The wine was created from a blend of 50% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. 14.5% ABV, 3.57 pH. Drink from 2027-2045. 93-95 Pts.

  94 vvPunkte / Anfangs verschlossen, braucht etwas Zeit, dunkle Kirschfrucht, Cassis, steiniger Charakter, keinerlei Holzdominanz. Im Gaumen frisch und lebendig, kompakt, mit Druck, eindrücklicher Fruchtkern, top Gerbstoff, dieser Wein hat einmal mehr an Präzision gewonnen, zeigt mehr Seele und vor allem mehr Vertikalität, die möglicherweise auch vom Apmphoren-Ausbau herrührt, gewonnen. Dieser Les Griffons ist top gelungen und zeigt viel Pauillac Charakteristik. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Pichon Longueville Baron) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Four (Bordeaux): Blackcurrant, slightly herbaceous notes, a little dusty spice underpin, touch of plum and blackberry in the background. In the mouth it has medium plus intensity acidity that is juicy, fresh and crunchy black fruits are a little non-delineated, slightly bitter notes join the chewy drying tannins that provide both time and quite woody, fruit just about persists,. Hmm.
