  Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): A little clay, black plums, sweet spice, alcohol prickle, tiny red berry and almost pencil shaving note here as well. Juicy, fleshy, the red berry fruit more forward on the palate, fine powdery tannins offer a framework rather than dominating, a little plummy underpin. Alcohol warmth is a teensy bit too intrusive though this is otherwise rather pleasant.

  Flowers, black cherries, black raspberries, licorice, and dark plum aromas come through in the nose. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine is lush, rich, and polished with more depth than usual. You can taste, and feel the balance, freshness, and levels of perfectly ripe pit fruits with ease. The wine finishes with dark, red pit fruits, and even darker chocolate. What really works here this year is the purity in the fruits. The proprietor, Anabelle Cruse says this is the best vintage she has ever produced. And I think she is right! The wine blends 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV, 3.65 pH. September 6 - September 23 were the dates of the harvest. Drink from 2025-2042. 93-95 Pts.

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Medium minus intensity aromas of cream, red plums, sweet and a little dusty spice. Slight dirty glass notes here as well on the nose (which must be from the bottling). A little sour red plums, drying tannins, finishes a little bitter (like the clos de sarpe). Meh
