Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Like Canon la Gaffeliere, a wine from Stephan Neipperg. These are made in a modern way with a bit more extraction and a good amount of wood but still never over the top, well suited for Bordeaux novices who are still getting used to the tannin-rich Pauillacs. The 2022 Aiguile impresses with pleasant fullness and beautiful blue fruit notes. A lot of wine for little money.

Dark pit fruits, blackberries, flowers, and cocoa create the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, sweet, polished and fresh. On the medium-bodied palate, the fruits are ripe, sweet and long, leaving you with a touch of salty chalk on the back end of the creamy finish. The wine is made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. 14.3% ABV. Drink from 2025-2038. 93-95 Pts.

93 vvPunkte / (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 30% Neuholz, 14.3% Alkohol). Mineralisch geprägte Nase mit viel reifer Frucht, Veilchen und getrocknete Kräuter, tiefgründig und komplex. Im Gaumen dicht, gradlinig, markante Struktur, kreidige Tannine, viel Frische, eine feine Würze und im Abgang, mit eindrücklicher, Länge. Einmal mehr ein sehr eleganter Aiguilhe mit grossen Reserven. 2030-2055 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Canon la Gaffelière) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch
