WEINWISSER: "53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, 17 % Petit Verdot, pH 3.60, 25 hl/ha. Verführerisches Bouquet, betörender Irisduft, ein Hauch Moschus, rotbeerige Konturen und Heidekraut. Am eleganten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, balancierter Rasse und engmaschigem Tanningerüst. Im gebündelten, aromatischen Finale Walderdbeere, Graphit und feinkörniger Extrakt. 2030 – 2045."

DECANTER: "Lovely ripe aromatics, a touch herbal but concentrated, smells ripe. Clean with minerality at the fore, not rustic or harsh, tannins are well integrated, really soft and smooth, super gentle and calm. Very controlled perhaps lacks some vibrancy and a bit more density but this is really well worked. Juicy and red fruited, strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Good persistence and really so easy to drink. A yield of 25hl/ha. Low extraction, 14% press wine, more than. usual. 3.6pH. Ageing: 12 months, 15% in new oak barrels, 35% in barrels of one wine."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine schwarzen Kirschen, zart nach Lakritze, tabakige Nuancen, Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Straff, reife Waldbeeren, integrierte Tannine, mineralisch-salzig, kräuterwürzig im Abgang, feine Fruchtsüße im Nachhall."

VINUM: "Besonders knackig, saftig und frisch, temperamentvoll und lang und doch erstaunlich bekömmlich: übertrifft sogar noch den bereits hervorragenden 2020!"

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2022 La Gurgue delivers aromas of dark berries, cherries and cassis, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy palate. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and fully 17% Petit Verdot, this pure, fruit-driven Margaux will be released under the old La Gurgue label from yesteryear."
