Flowers, currants, espresso, cocoa, smoke and licorice fill the perfume. Medium-bodied, lifted, soft, elegant, and polished, the wine is up-beat, spicy and chalky on the palate with peppery, chocolate-accented currants that round out the finish. The wine blends 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2024-2040.

(90-92 vvPunkte) 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Dichtes Rubinrot. Die Nase zeigt Würze und einen schönen Mix aus dunklen und roten Beeren, etwas Kirsche, Pflaumen. Im Gaumen cremig und weich im Auftakt, leichter Körper, seidiges Tannin, im mittleren Gaumen mit einem kleinen Durchhänger, doch gegen hinten zieht sicher Wein lange hin und endet im Abgang langanhaltend mit rotfruchtigen Aromen, einer feinen Würze und einem Hauch Blutorangen. 2025-2038 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Cos d'Estournel)

Medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant, soft and sweet, the wine is focused on its core of spiced red fruits with its hints of cigar box and savory notes on the nose, palate and dark red pit fruit filled, round, polished finish. The wine blends 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2023-2038. 90-92

En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Some struck match/reductive notes, red and black fruits, a little oak spice, fruit shows bitter here, a little almost orange/mandarin note. Medium plus intensity acidity, fruits carry up a bit more after the G, touch of liquorice as well, similar tannic profile to the G but the fruit more pronounced and persists a little more but this still isn’t a particularly good wine for me.
