Showing much more freshness & red fruit profile than the atypical 2021, sits fine and velvety on the tannin profile. Long and even. Plush and refreshing. Gently spiced. Elegant flavourful. Harmonious and integrated. Layered complexity with eathiness and a well balanced stalk use adding intrigue. A lovely perfume dancing over the top.
Fresh energetic zippy acid much more contained than the 2021. More vibrant without the darkness and dry red factor of the 2021. This will be a region that I look for the cool vintages. This is very good at the price point playing comfortably with Mercurey 1er Crus. They’ve nailed the mouthfeel: long, even and flowing. The core of fruit lingers on complexed with a little baking spice and again beautifully integrated stalk adding intrigue. Resolved. A little musk and rose playing at the edges.
