Chateau Lamothe Bergeron 2022

DECANTER: "Bright, lifted, so clean and smooth, silky almost but creamy too with a nice weight and texture to the fine, softly powdery tannins. Generous and well controlled with some savoury liquorice and wet stone tang that gives accent and nuance. Lovely acidity and just an excellent expression with delicacy, control and appeal. Really very drinkable, floral, fruity with a gentle salty, savoury undercurrent. A top buy. HVE4 certified. 3.75pH."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Röstaromen, schwarze Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Nugat, süßer Tabak, einladendes Bukett. Saftig und frisch, präsente Tannine, mineralisch, dezente Süße im Abgang, salziger Touch, gute Länge, würzig und mit Reifepotenzial ausgestattet."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Mellow and creamy with a medium body and ripe dark berry character. Fine tannins and a chocolaty finish. Fresh."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Currants, spice, licorice, tobacco, cherries, and cedar show nicely in the perfume. Medium-bodied, soft, fresh, vibrant, creamy, and fresh, the sweet fruits linger on the palate with freshness, and a touch of spice in the finish. Drink from 2025-2034."
