Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): Plums earth, sweet spice, a little almost saline notes, cream, blackcurrant and mint in the background. Interesting nose and a bit of an outliner so far. Savoury with quite bitter tannins on the palate which, unfortunately, dominates proceedings. The nose shows promise though so time should help.

Flowers, blackberries, peppery spice, and wet earth with a touch of powdered chocolate create the nose. On the palate, the wine is round, lush, sweet, and fresh. The black raspberries are peppery, spicy, and vibrant with an olive, and tobacco leaf accent on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot. 13.97% ABV. Drink from 2025-2038. 91-93 Pts.

88 vvPunkte / Leicht brotige Nase, dunkle Frucht, Kräuter. Im Gaumen straff, das Tannin wirkt etwas flockig, die Frucht ist delikat. Eher kurz im Abgang. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / Vintex / Château Ripeau) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
