Score 91/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Sep 2025

Showing a ripe, polished, slightly modern yet impressive style, the 2022 Vieux Château Palon reveals cassis, spicy oak, graphite, and tobacco in a medium to full-bodied, layered, elegant package. It has a sweet tannic profile and a great finish, with a well-oaked, classy style that will keep for a decade. Drink 2025-2035.

This richly flavorful red has aromas of chocolate cherries, sandalwood, balsamic and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied, broad and creamy with chalky tannins. Ripe, bold and concentrated. Drink from 2027.

Ambitious, damson, black cherry, liquorice, black chocolate, red pepper, spice, it has impact and silky tannins, a little overwrought. Clay and limestone soils for this 5ha vineyard, 100% new oak.

Flowers and leafy herbs combine with sweet, ripe, red and black pit fruits to produce an elegant, soft, polished, medium-bodied, supple wine with sweetness, freshness, and good energy in the spice, accented, fruity finish. This should be delicious on release and provide pleasure for over a decade with ease. The wine blends 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2037.
