Decanter, January 2025

Expressive nose full of chocolate, cherries, roses and liquorice. Quite compact and restrained on the palate, the dark blue and black bramble fruit has a nice fleshy, almost plush texture - with stoney elements that come...

Wow. This is really fantastic. It’s full-bodied with blackberry and blackcurrant aromas and flavors. Such intensity with superfocus and balance. Great center palate. The real deal. Best ever. Try after 2030.

The 2022 Marquis d'Alesme Becker, a Bordeaux Blend originating from the Margaux sub-region in Bordeaux, France, is a red wine noted for its elegant and complex profile. This wine is crafted from a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, which is aged in 50-60% new oak barrels. The wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure and showcases a deep garnet-purple hue.

Jeff Leve of TheWineCellarInsider.com, who awarded the wine between 94-96 points, describes it as having "flowers, mint-leaves, black currants, plums, and cherry aromatics." On the palate, Leve notes, "The wine is silky, creamy, and fresh," with "sweet, energetic, and long" fruits. He emphasizes the purity of the berries and the impact they have on the palate, culminating in a finish that includes "peppery spice, mint, and chocolate-covered plums."

Jeb Dunnuck from jebdunnuck.com rated it between 92-94 points, highlighting the wine's "deep purple hue" and its "brilliant aromatics of red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and wood smoke." Dunnuck describes the wine as "medium to full-bodied and nicely balanced," with a style that is both "ripe, sexy, opulent" and capable of aging gracefully.

Jane Anson, giving the wine 95 points on janeanson.com, emphasizes its visual appeal with a "glass-staining purple" color that hints at its depth and character. Anson notes the presence of "powerful cassis and blueberry fruit, slate and pumice stone," and appreciates the wine's ability to be "extremely ripe without being overly sweet."

Decanter also rates the wine at 95 points, praising its "expressive nose" with "rich blackcurrants, bramble fruits, perfumed violets and irises." The review highlights its "lovely supple texture" and "ripe tannins," describing it as "so fresh and friendly" with a "great fully fruit-forward aspect."

Vinous, through Antonio Galloni, gives the wine 90-92 points, noting it as a "dark, plummy wine" with "succulent cherry, plum, licorice, spice, espresso and menthol." Galloni appreciates the wine's "terrific energy, focus and cut."

Lastly, The Wine Independent scores the wine 94-96 points, describing it as "a little closed to begin" but revealing "fragrant scents of warm cassis, kirsch, and violets" upon coaxing. The review notes "bright and shiny" fruit on the palate, with "compelling freshness" and "fine-grained tannins," leading to a "long and perfumed finish."

Overall, the 2022 Marquis d'Alesme Becker is a highly regarded Bordeaux blend, praised for its complexity, balance, and aging potential.
