Bordeaux 2022 barrel samples and some additional vintages (Solliden in Stockhom): This wine was less powerful and ripe than many of the other wines from Margaux but instead it was the wine that showed the best freshness. Vanilla and polished fruit . The last time I had Kirwan was the 1998 but that was not at all the same positve experience.

Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: On par with the 2019, also very spicy, even a touch crisper. Great recent progress on this Chateau. Both come recommended, I would make my buying decision whether it will be the 2019 or 2022 dependent on the 2022 EP release price.

Flowers, currants, spice, and espresso form the core of this medium-bodied, fresh, currant-filled fine. The touch of spice at the end adds a nice fresh note in the finish. Drink from 2026-2045. 90-92 Pts.

93 vvPunkte / Würzig und mit dezenter Röstnote, roter und dunkler Frucht, etwas Pflaume in der Nase. Im Gaumen mit reifer Frucht, ausgewogen, ohne Überextraktion, sehr knackig und mit wunderbarere Länge ist das einer der besseren Kirwan, die ich bisher probieren durfte.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): After the last two wines (d'Issan and du Tertre) this feels quite subdued. Medium minus intensity aromas of cedar, sweet spice, dark hued fruits; blackcurrant and berry, bramble. It's quite juicy on the palate with medium plus intensity acidity, fleshy dark hued fruits, plums, a touch lightweight, fresh, a little chalky textured tannins in support. Okay.
