  "I loved the 2022 Clos De Sarpe, a wonderfully pure, complex, seamless Saint-Emilion based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Its inky purple/ruby hue is followed by a brilliant, youthful nose of crème de cassis, spring flowers, crushed stone, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins, wonderfully integrated oak, flawless balance, and a great finish. It offers pleasure today, yet this is built for the long haul as well and will ideally be given 5-7 years of bottle age and enjoyed over the following 2-3 decades."

  "I like what's going on here. Now, you find more intensity, as well as a softness in the previously strong tannins. The wine is rich, powerful, mineral-driven, and packed with multiple layers of lushly-textured fruits. Give it time to come together. It is worth the wait. This could easily age for 3 decades or perhaps longer. Drink from 2029-2055."

  "Plenty of plush wood spices that aren’t yet fully integrated into the rich blackberries and tapenade. Full-bodied and fine-grained on the palate, with sappy fruit and tannins. Flavorful, long and a bit woody now, but it shows potential. Try from 2029."

  Decanter
  "On the nose there are potent and highly charged aromas - evocative and heady scents of ripe cherries and plums. Fleshy, juicy and bright on the palate, this manages to convey power and strength but with bounce and definition. It has a slightly rich, silky texture but the high acidity lifts the expression and creates a sense of tension which makes this so vibrant. Well rounded and long, with barely a hint of the 15% alcohol. An excellent, seductive wine."
