Tobacco leaf, underbrush, cedar, and currants form the core of the wine. On the medium-bodied palate, the wine is crunchy, crisp, and classic with a savory edge to firm finish. Drink from 2025-2040. 89-91 Pts.

91 vvPunkte / Sehr dunkle Farbe. Komplexe Nase, anfangs still, wird dann immer floraler, zeigt dunkelfruchtige Aromen, Kräuter, komplex. Im Gaumen frisch, knackige Frucht, markantes, leicht trocknendes Tannin, dahinter süsse Frucht, langer Abgang, würziges Finish.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Cream, black hued fruits, sweet spice, a little almost raspberry note in support. In the mouth it's quite fleshy and juicy (tending to medium plus intensity acidity) but gets more bolshy with time in the mouth; quite drying, chewy, tannins, reinforce this impression. Hmm.

Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Elegant body, very good balance. In the past, the tannins here were sometimes a bit rough, but not with the 2022. Good for the price.
