  Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): Like the d'Issan earlier this has a slightly off putting herbaceous aroma here, plenty of alcohol prickle, touch of red plum, sweet spice. The alcohol translates to the palate making this feel quite clumsy and unwieldy, talc textured tannins are a little chewy. Meh.

  The dark, purple hue stands out. Licorice, smoke, oyster shell, espresso, black cherries, and plums are all over the perfume. The wine explodes from the glass with its layers of opulent, black and red fruits, dark chocolate, espresso, smoke and chocolate on the palate. Full-bodied, powerful, and most importantly pure, there is a depth of flavor, and richness on the mid-palate that sticks with you through to the extended, mineral-driven finish. I would not be surprised to see this score even higher once it is in the bottle. The wine blends 86% Merlot with 14% Cabernet Franc, 14.6% ABV, 3.5 pH. The harvest took place September 13-September 23. Yields were 34 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2055. 97-99 Pts.

  97 vvPunkte / Wow, was für ein Duft, diese Frucht ist umwerfend, Cassis und Brombeeren, Veilchen, Gewürze, ein Hit. Im Gaumen dicht und mit viel Eleganz, die Tannine sind wie aus dem Stein gemeisselt, die Frucht ist knackig, vollmundig, mit Schmelz und einem kalkigen Finish ist das einmal mehr ein top Larcis Ducasse von bezaubernder Schönheit. 2030-2060 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / UGCB / Château Valandraud) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
