Flowers, tobacco leaf, Indian spices and currants are introduced in the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, silky, fresh vibrant with focus on its black raspberries, red plums and cherries. This will be gorgeous to enjoy on release. The wine blends 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the last vintage of Le Pape. The vines are now incorporated into Chateau Haut Bailly. Drink from 2024-2038.

(89-91 vvPunkte) (80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. 6. Dezember). Mittleres Rubinrot. Die Nase ist expressiv, würzig und angenehm komplex, Kirschen, Pflaume, steinige Noten, nobles Barrique. Im Gaumen mit charmanter Frucht, diese ist reif und wird von feinmaschigen, reifen Gerbstoffen getragen, die Würze ist bestechend, die Säure stimmig, ein ungemein ausgewogenes und qualitativ hochwertiges Paket. Das gehört definitiv zu den schöneren Beispielen in diesem Jahrgang. 2024-2033 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Haut-Bailly) vvWine.ch

Wonderful wine. A bit on the softer side for a left bank Bordeaux, due to the high percentage of merlot I’m sure. Very soft and approachable.

Feeling Pessac-Léognan pizzaz, appreciating dry extract #bdx15: whites and reds (Bordeaux, actually tasted during en primeur week) : An atypical Graves given the very high Merlot content of three-quarters and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Lovely fresh expressions of Merlot, clocking in at 13.8% alcohol, opulent mid palate but never “too much” with pleasing density and smooth structure coming from the Cabernets. Lovely! 90-92+

Smoke, licorice, caramel, sweet cherries and spice, this wine is medium-bodied, soft, fresh and forward with an elegant appeal. Produced from a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine reached 13.8% alcohol. 89 - 91 Pts
