Haut-Médoc

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color. Rolls out with notes of fresh blackberries and raspberries, leading to hints of underbrush and dried sage. The light-bodied palate delivers approachable tannins with soft acidity and savory-laced blackberry flavors, finishing chewy.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Verdignan shoots out with scents of fresh redcurrants and Bing cherries giving way to an undercurrent of pencil shavings and dried herbs with a touch of charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing, with firm chewy tannins leading to a grippy finish.

The depth of colour in these wines is really pretty remarkable. This starts off slowly but surely, a good approach in this kind of vintage, allowing the dark berry fruits to match the tannins through the palate. Edges of tar and cloves show that even with this careful approach you can't escape the character of the vintage, but there is appealing velvety texture, and sweet blackberry puree on the finish. A standout vintage at the property, look out for it.

Inside Bordeaux

Clear berry fruits, hedgerow character with raspberry leaf and sappy redcurrant. Well made, Médoc character, soft finish, on the edge of ripeness but well handled and carefully extracted.

👃 Tett mørk solbær, vanilje, julekrydder og brent toast. 

👄 Det mørke solbæret er også fremtredende på smak sammen med litt blåbær. Det er i tillegg litt vanilje og krydder. Tanninstrukturen er rimelig hissig (med+),og man sitter en stund og smatter for å skjønne hva som traff deg. Noe endimensjonal på smak. Sitter litt.

It contains 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc: It is exciting to taste this one, as it may be too old for its quality level. The nose is fruity with blackcurrants and red plums. There is also licorice and moist forest floor. The palate is velvety, fruity and acidic in a fine balance. The finish is medium long and acidic. It is a lovely wine which is perfectly mature, and delivers far better than I expected.
