  Tobacco, mint, currants, and cocoa create the nose. On the palate, the wine is soft, silky, and lifted, with sweetness, and elegance in the finish. This is already a treat in your glass. But give it a year or two in the cellar, and it is going to be even better. The wine is a blend of 60% Merlot with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2025-2038. 92-94 Pts.

  92 vvPunkte / (60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14%) Verhaltene Nase, braucht etwas Luft, rauchige Noten, dunkle Frucht, Schwarztee, Tabak, mit mehr Luft Cassis und Kirschen. Im Gaumen dicht, ein Mund voll Wein, reichhaltig, voluminös, in der Mitte des Gaumens packt der Wein zu, zeigt Würze, Rasse, viel Frische, ein Balanceakt aus Druck und Frische, die Extraktion wurde hier mit Fingerspitzengefühl gemacht. Langer, würziger Abgang. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Smith Haut Lafitte) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Seven (Bordeaux): Medium minus intensity aromas of plums, sweet spice, cream. It's a little fruit tea with some bitter plum underpin - almost a touch of umeboshi, drying chalky tannins. Ugh.
