Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Coufran needs a little coaxing to reveal notes of baked plums, juicy black cherries, and cassis, plus touches of dried herbs and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate has a pleasant chewiness, with plenty of expressive black fruit and savory flavors to back it up and just enough freshness to lift the finish.

Intense, plenty of upfront impact, striking just how contrasting is the nature of 2021 and 2022 at this property. Velvety texture, a ton of damson fruits, with seductive appeal that speaks to the hot summer which they have done a good job of harnessing rather than being overwhelmed by. Touches of heat on the finish though.

Inside Bordeaux

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color. Gives up notes of red currants and fresh strawberries with touches of bay leaves and tilled soil. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is lean and chewy with moderate acidity and a grippy finish.

The 2023 Coufran is deep garnet-purple in color. It leaps with bold notes of black raspberries and juicy strawberries, plus suggestions of dried sage, crushed rocks, and mossy tree bark. The light to medium-bodied palate is lively and chewy, with herbs-laced red berry flavors and a refreshing finish.

Unfussy, light and underpowered, charming, and the leafiness found En Primeur has softened over ageing, but this remains a little diluted, and is for early to medium term drinking. 50hl/h yield, Eric Boissenot consultant.

The 2020 Coufran, 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. It slips easily out of the glass with up-front scents of juicy black plums, kirsch, and boysenberries, plus hints of cloves, nutmeg, and dark chocolate. The medium-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with a velvety texture and just enough freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.

Amatør

Mørke kirsebær, krydder, lær og treverk hint paprika. Lett bitter finish men sitter lenge. Til å være 13 år beholder den en fin medium+ syre. Modne taniner. 88 poeng 

Holdt seg ganske bra, noe bunnfall. 
Avrundede tanninner, tørket frukt. 
Mye tertiær-aromaer.
