2022 vintage. Dark red, much deeper colour than usual for this estate. Marie-Laure Lurton seems to have gone for a bit more extraction in this exceptional vintage. More powerful than usual, with a fresh black fruit personality,embedded in a tight, ripe tannic structure. Serious length too. Decanting recommended,as it showed better the next day. Ab. 14%.

Very fruit forward. Raspberry and mint with earthy herbals after. Medium tannin and fill bodied. Nose is heavy on Cabernet, almost like a Napa. Plums, graphite, and even salt on the nose? Very good.
