Chateau Berliquet 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "A plump and juicy wine with redcurrants and plums, as well as orange peel. Full and layered with round, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Generous fruit in this vintage."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Berliquet is the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, equipped with double the number of vats, permitting proper separation of blocks. That's especially important, as Berliquet is a more diverse terroir than Canon, and it can now be interpreted with much more precision. Offering up aromas of cherries, black raspberries, licorice and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a fleshy core of concentrated fruit, refined, chalky tannins and lively acids."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Herzkirschen, blumiger Touch, etwas Nugat und Vanille, einladendes Bukett. saftig, elegant, feine Tannine, gute Frische, ein Wein mit Charme und Länge, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial, ein delikater Speisenbegleiter."
