  "Rich and concentrated on the nose with perfumed notes as well as dark fruit and liquorice spice. Smooth but firm, this has weight and density in the mouth with fleshy black fruit, lively acidity and a long finish with chocolate and mint. Still feels fairly serious, this has broad shoulders and a wide frame but with gorgeously pure and juicy fruit. I like the combination of crunchy acidity and plush tannins, it really works. Excellent mid plate vibrancy. A touch of oak gives a bite to the finish but this will settle."

  "Tasted on multiple occasions, the inky-hued 2022 Château Labégorce (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) reveals a perfumed, intense nose of ripe black cherries, cassis, spicy oak, and violets. This carries to an exotic, full-bodied Margaux that brings beautiful purity, a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a big, powerful wine that I wouldn't be surprised to see close down over the coming 3-4 years. It will evolve for at least two decades."

  "The blackcurrant and blackberry aromas are very attractive here. It’s medium-bodied with firm and silky tannins and a pretty finish. Not the most complex wine, but focused and complete. Drink after 2028."

  " This is suave, with alder smoke–infused blackberry and black cherry compote flavors carried by a note of warm humus and backed by echoing violet and iris notes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2036. 15,000 cases made."
