  Not as good as the previous bottle I had. This was a bit more congested, despite about a 1.5 hour decant. Definitely has so much potential though.

  5 years younger than the 2010 and it shows. Brash with tannins that have yet to soften, depth isn’t there. Decanted for ~3 hours and it didn’t seem enough. Good, but obviously way too early and not a early drinker.

  Berry's Bordeaux 2022 En Primeur :: Saddle leather, tilled soil, mushroom, sweet cassis. Very expressive and expansive. Velvety mouthfeel, fine tannin and a lovely freshness; seriously structured.

  Huge disappointment.
  Nothing to taste, no fruit, just endless dryness and alcohol.
  I was so puzzled, i thought the bottle was the issue even though the bottle did not smell or taste corked, so I opened the second one, which was very slightly better but still unacceptable.
  Tasted the two bottles several times over two days : at bottle opening, after an hour of decant, after three hours, the next day and the day after. The bottle never improved.
  Definitely the worst QPR wine i've tasted so far. The cheap supermarket wines still have more than this.
  I had to look at the RP scale again to see how to rate this wine since I never had to go so low on the rating, but for me its :
  60-69 A below average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor, or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
