  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Four (Bordeaux): From Magnum. Porcini dominates the nose and the palate, a little red fruit and a touch of leather. That red fruit touches on the sour in the mouth. Hmm.

  Have always loved this wine. One of the best Margaux of this vintage. Explodes from the glass. Floral but dusty nose. Raspberries and herbs. A bit of chocolate. Orange Zest? Very layered.
  
  Impeccable balance, but I would prefer it to be a fraction drier. Might need careful pairing (tonight I am having it with a slice of toast).
  
  Drink now. The tannins are just starting to dry out.

  Very elegant. Deep garnet with amber at the rim. Medium bodied and svelte with red and black currant and hints of bergamot and mint. Really pretty, but will not improve. Give it 1-2 hours of air.

  Garnet in colour. Cooked black fruits, black tea, earth, tobacco, cedar. Medium- acidity and tannin. Will not improve but still drinkable.
