Thursday, May 11, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 barrel tasting event (Papiersaal Sihlcity, Zürich): Main takeaways: 1/ Despite a considerable amount of hype, this came across as bi-polar vintage with for every insanely good wine at least one dead-on-arrival counterpart. 2/ High alcohol levels, over-extraction and cooked fruit appear to be common pitfalls. 3/ Top wines were 1. Figeac (98), 2. Brane Cantenac (97), 3. Les Carmes Haut Brion (96). Full list of 20 wines and scores in included in the tasting story.

Tasting note:
Mostly gooseberry fruit with a decent intensity to it. Aromas of spice add some complexity, but not more. Slightly creamy texture, but I felt the this struggled with the acidity which felt insufficient.
