92 Points
Wednesday, June 28, 2023 - PnP, from 0.375l bottle, diam cork, 13% Alc., deep purple red color.
Nose: Complex sweet black fruit, very nice.
Palate: Tasteable quality in the glass, harmonious and good balance, dosed use of wood, good intensity, nice expression of violet and some black cherry fruit, at the end raspberry, good complexity even multilayered. Enjoyable and promising wine!
After three disappointments from 2020 Bdx, e.g. Grand Puy Lacoste (no notes taken), Malartic Lagraviere and La Gurgue, this wine was really convincing. Quality of components, structure and fruit are right here, a good development can be expected as well, 92+.

Investments in cellar technology and conversion to organic production are bearing fruit here. It also seems to me that the cellar master has a good sense of how to balance and structure the wine.
Recommend opening a bottle and trying this, now.
