Black, blue and red fruits, tobacco leaf, flowers, and coffee bean, with a hint of cocoa create the nose. Lively red and black fruits, with hints of chocolate show in the round, full-bodied, deep wine. The lengthy finish is all about its layers of sweet, ripe, dark red berries, energy and chocolately, espresso in the mid-palate and end notes. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. 14.5% ABV, 3.65. Harvesting took place September 19 - October 5. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2050. 93-95 Pts.

95 vvPunkte / Dieser Duft ist intensiv, mit Cassis, Holunder, Schwarzkirsche und floralen Tönen. Im Gaumen dicht, ein Mund voll Wein, viel Frucht, viel Gerbstoff, da ist ein ungemein kompakter Fruchtkern, umgarnt von einem massiven Tanninkorsett, doch die Proportionen stimmen, ebenso die aromatische Länge. Ein Monument. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / CVBG / Château Belgrave) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Three (Bordeaux): Blackcurrant cordial strays to the jammy, sweet spice, a little cedar, slightly ripe plums in support as well as a little caramel. Medium plus intensity acidity, ripe blackcurrant, plenty of woody tannins with a savoury underpin, plummy notes join on the finish with some alcohol warmth...actually the finish proves quite warm. Bit big for me.
