Decanter (95)
A great effort in 2022 with such excellent precision and detail to the tannins and fruit. Cool blueberries, blackcurrants, cola, vanilla, tobacco and liquorice all give nuance and interest with fleshy tannins and bright acidity. Great balance of intensity and finesse with such energy from start to finish. Really quite approachable and enjoyable with impressive crystalline aspects and a lovely sense of place. Tasted twice. A yield of 40hl/ha. Ageing 16 months in barrels, 60% new. Harvest 9-28 September. 3.75pH.د.إ3,030.00 -

A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Château Tayac is deep purple-hued and offers smoky blackcurrants, oak, graphite, sappy tobacco, and flowery incense-driven aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and dense on the palate, with ripe, building tannins, it’s a serious, impressive wine that should evolve well for 20+ years.د.إ1,070.00 -

Introducing Tour du Roch-Milon 2022, a remarkable vintage from the esteemed vineyards nestled in the prestigious Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. This exquisite wine is the product of a meticulous winemaking process that begins with carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, harvested at their optimum ripeness. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterised by deep gravel soils with a base of limestone, imparts a distinctive minerality and complexity to the wine.
The vinification process adheres to traditional methods, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by prolonged ageing in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's structure and flavour profile. Tour du Roch-Milon 2022 exhibits an elegant bouquet of dark berries, cassis, and subtle oak nuances, with a balanced palate that promises longevity. This release not only reflects the artisanal expertise of its producers but also underscores their commitment to quality and heritage, making it an exceptional choice for discerning collectors and enthusiasts.

(12x37.5cl) 2022Vinous - Neal Martin (96)
The 2022 Tronquoy has a complex bouquet that unfolds in the glass, with blackberry, cedar and tobacco scents, one of the most classical styles in this flight. It builds in power. The palate has exquisite balance, a kind of symmetry that reminds me of Montrose. Perfectly judged acidity, this is so precise on the finish and contains the sapidity to draw you back for more. I already knew this was a strong Saint-Estèphe but here it really shows the opposition what it is capable of. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.د.إ4,938.79 -
