Mint-leaf, flowers, plums, and black currants with peppery spices create the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, bright, soft, energetic, spicy, and floral. There is a lot of energy, vibrancy and freshness in this wine. The crisp, chewy, red currant finish is spicy, long, and bright, with a dab of spearmint that comes in at the end of the finish. The wine was produced from a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 13% Merlot. 13.9% ABV, 3.54 pH. Picking took place September 6 - September 26. Drink from 2027-2045. 93-95 Pts.

93 vvPunkte / Expressiv, sehr Pauillac, Leder, schwarze Johannisbeere und viel Kirsche, dazu Kräuter und eine pfeffrige Würze, komplex. Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert, ein Mund voll Wein, massive Gerbstoffe, top Frucht, knackig, wohl balanciert und mit viel Rasse im Finale. Ein hervorragender HBL der gut reifen wird.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Three (Bordeaux): Polished oak with plush ripe blackcurrant, a little meaty, savoury underpin, cedar. Medium plus intensity acidity, blackcurrant over plum, a little cream, chewy and dense tannic grip is tight, long, again there is a sense of an over-reliance on oak.
