Tasting notes
The 2022 La Confession offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, mint chocolate and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate built around powdery tannins. Its élevage remains front-and-center for the time being.

Fruity but also intricate, this has a good level of complexity on the nose, showing black cherries, plums, fine spices and a touch of iron and dark chocolate. Plump and round with some nicely chewy tannins and a fleshy, ample finish. Flavorful and pretty long. A pleasant St.-Emilion that already shows early appeal. Drink or hold.
Spicy red and black fruits, new leather, flowers, and incense notes all shine in the 2022 Château La Confession, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, complex, elegant 2022. I like it already yet see no reason this shouldn’t evolve nicely over the coming 10-15 years or so. The blend is 70% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec, raised in 50% new oak.
The 2022 La Confession offers an opulent bouquet of ripe red cherry, blueberry, and violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. It's plush on the entry but it tightens up toward the more tannic, moderately long finish. Afford this three of four years in bottle.
