Readers will find a\r\nmagical wine, a Pomerol that satifises both the intellectual and\r\nhedonistic senses. Vertical and explosive, with stunning presence, the\r\n2022 VCC simply has it all. Time in the glass reveals myriad shades of\r\nnuance. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and plum\r\nliterally soar out of the glass. The tannins are present but nearly buried\r\nby the wine\u0027s deep, layered fruit. But more than anything else, it is the\r\nbalance, the total sense of harmony, that is most impressive. I simply\r\ncan’t ask anything more of the 2022, hence its lofty and well-deserved\r\nrating.

Nöemie Durantou remarked that this vintage is the best she had ever
known with respect to the Merlot, and given that the 2022 L'EgliseClinet contains 90% Merlot, that pre-empted a fabulous Pomerol.

The 2022 Château Margaux obliged reams of superlatives from barrel.
