Tasting notes
The 2023 Château Couhins is based on 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot and it's still resting in one-third new French oak. Bright black cherries, leather, leafy herbs, and chocolate notes all define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with firmer tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and solid overall mid-palate depth and concentration.

Black cherries, chocolate, flowers, and espresso form the character here. The medium-bodied palate is round, chewy, and loaded with black cherries, peppery spice, dark chocolate, espresso, and crisp red currants. Bright, and chewy in the finish, give it a few years in the bottle and it promises to be even better. The wine blends 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. 14 ABV.
The 2023 Couhins Rouge is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of red cherries, cranberries, and blackcurrant jelly pop from the glass, with hints of rosemary and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is quite herbal and chewy, with a lively line and lifted finish. The blend is 51% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot.
Very pretty center-palate of ripe yet cool cabernet sauvignon fruit. Medium body, integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Solid and curated already.
