Licorice, black fruits and a touch of espresso on the nose lead the way to the medium-bodied, round, polished, soft, fruit-filled, blackberry finish. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. For about $20, this is a steal! Drink from 2025-2031. 89-91 Pts.

89 vvPunkte / Sehr offen, schöne Frucht, Brombeeren und schwarze Johannisbeeren. Im Gaumen zugänglich, gute Balance von Frucht und Struktur, etwas trocknend im Finish, jedoch deutlich weniger übertriebene Extraktion wie bei anderen Weinen dieser Appellation.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Plum over blackcurrant, sweet spice, a little earthy underpin, touch of herbaceousness. Medium plus intensity acidity proves juicy, chewy tannins are a little high in intensity for the fruit at this stage though both travel. Slight alcohol warmth on the finish. Hmm

Black-fruited, spicy, really suave and soft. A little prickle of heat. A big improvement on the 2021 and 2020.
