2022 Chateau Berliquet Saint Émilion 1,5lt.
Berliquet has stepped up in recent vintages under Chanel's ownership and the 2022 is one of the best to date. Supple, sweet cherry fruit, a little dried strawberry, vanilla bean and pastry crust come through on the nose. The palate is pure silk, this will offer superb drinking pleasure in its youth. Smooth, ripe tannins allow the glistening red fruit at the core to shine through. There is a little graphite to go with the notes of cherry pie, keeping everything in check and adding a brightness to the wine. Fine acidity moves the fruit into floral overtones, giving an aromatic, lingering finish. A great wine for those looking for something that packs a punch with an open drinking window for the mid-term.
