Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, December 2021

(93-95 points) An even deep rich purple colour. More open that Les St Georges, in a rich deep plummy character. Sweetness from the oak, an undoubted raft of concentrated dark fruit, the tannins are well behaved and there...

This vintage has garnered acclaim from several reviewers, highlighting its complex and robust characteristics. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes it as a "full-bodied, layered and velvety wine" with aromas of cassis, woodsmoke, and wild berries, and notes its "elegantly muscular" structure, awarding it a score of 95. The wine's ability to age well is also emphasized, suggesting it is "built for the long haul."

Jasper Morris, writing for Inside Burgundy, also rates the wine highly at 95 points, noting its "deep rich purple colour" and "rich deep plummy character." Morris highlights the sweetness from the oak and observes that the wine has "an undoubted raft of concentrated dark fruit" with well-behaved tannins and great length, predicting it to be a "very good prospect."

John Gilman from View From The Cellar echoes these sentiments, also giving the wine a score of 95. He describes it as "deep, full and structured," with a bouquet featuring "sappy black cherries, cassis, gamebird, dark soil tones, bonfire, balsam bough, nutskin and vanillin oak." Gilman praises its "superb core of fruit" and "excellent length and grip," calling it a "stunning wine in due course."

Vinous offers a more moderate perspective, scoring the wine at 91 points. Neal Martin notes its "ripe, pure, lifted bouquet" with red cherries, blueberry, and light violet scents. He mentions the wine's "very supple tannins" and describes it as "quite fleshy," though perhaps lacking in complexity compared to others.
