94 Points

Sunday, December 25, 2022 - Last of 3 bottles purchased upon release, and this was the best showing to date. The wine was decanted ~30 minutes before drinking. The tannins have softened, the wine remains deep in color, and the fruit is intact. Classic left bank Bordeaux with cedar and black currants, but no tertiary flavors/aromas yet. Very drinkable now, but I believe the wine will be even better in a few years. This bottle was definitely worthy of the Chateau's 2nd growth stature.
