Black fruit, flowers, chocolate, plums, and mocha shine in the nose. The palate displays more of those lusciously-textured, black cherries, plums, and chocolate. The wine is rich, creamy, long and sweet, with vibrancy, energy, and a touch of savory herbs on the backend. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14.5% ABV. Drink from 2024-2045. 92-94 Pts.

93 vvPunkte / Offen, dunkelfruchtig, mit floralen Tönen, Kaffee und Kirschen. Im Gaumen fruchtig, cremige Textur, feines Tannin, das Holz perfekt verpackt. Der Abgang ist rotfruchtig und zeigt eine feine Würze, sehr langanhaltend und ungemein frisch. Sehr schöner Wein.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Initially black hued fruits; plums, blackcurrant, cream, dusty sweet spice. Medium plus intensity acidity, a little rhubarb joins the plums and slight blackcurrant on the palate with sweet okay spice and drying woody tannins. Hmm, balanced.. Okay.

Dried black fruit, spice, dry-erase marker. Not at all appealing to me.
