In recent weeks, I have had the chance to re-taste a good number of Bordeaux 2022 samples to see their evolution almost a year after the primeur week. I put you below and in alphabetical order, those that I imagine for the moment, worthy of the highest grade! It must be understood that I have not tasted all the wines, far from it, and that some others are going through more difficult evolutionary phases for the moment and therefore impossible to rate while remaining honest. Only the notes after bottling will be truly conclusive. Thank you for understanding this.
Cheval Blanc, Lafleur, Las Cases, Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Margaux, Petrus, Tertre-Roteboeuf

Yesterday I was lucky to taste a new sample of Petrus and Lafleur Expansive nose, the mouth is not shy either. It's smooth and very concentrated, with loose tannins and hints of coffee and mocha, but a fruit juice side that leaves traces; notes of raspberry with a hint of somesthetic liquorice. There is a presence and an obviousness, the power is tamed and faces great depth. Sensuality with seriousness. Squaring the circle

The best Petrus ever made in a very very long time!! He regained his 1st place alongside the fabulous Lafleur and the grandiose Cheval Blanc. Welcome back your Majesty!

Possibly the greatest wine I've drunk in my life (en primeur) with Lafleur 2019 (in bottle)
