  The dark fruits show nicely in the nose, and on the palate. Soft, and round in texture, with ripeness, freshness, and sweetness, the only issue here is too much new oak, as the wine seems dry in the finish. This the last vintage for the new owners. Starting in 2023, the team of Cos d'Estournel will take over the vineyard and production of the wine. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2040. 91-93 Pts.

  92 vvPunkte / (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 14.46% Alkohol) Eine dunkelfruchtig geprägte Nase, mit Würze und einem floralen Touch, steinige Noten schwingen mit, reife Cassisfrucht, Kirschen, etwas Rauch. Der Gaumen ist straff, die Frucht ist knackig, doch da ist auch merklich Tannin mit im Spiel, dieses ist aktuell noch wild, überlagert die Frucht jedoch nicht, sondern wirkt harmonisch eingebunden. Angenehm langer Abgang mit rotfruchtigem Finish und einem würzigen Touch. Gute Anlagen. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Cos d'Estournel) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Six (Bordeaux): Very slightly almost volatile initially, black fruits; currants over plums, sweet spice, a tiny touch of woody sweetness. Medium plus intensity acidity, freshly fruited, crunchy tannins in support, balanced but not for me.
