Chateau Olivier 2022

Bewertungen

• 94/100

  James Suckling
  "Fine aromas of herbs and currant leaves lend freshness to this wine from a hot, sunny vintage. Surprisingly scented and complex on the nose, showing spiced cherries, plums and a touch of cedar. Firm and juicy on the palate, with a medium to full body and a very long, tight-grained finish without chewiness. Nicely fluid in the middle, but refined. Drink from 2027."

  "Laurent Lebrun winemaker and director. Deep spiced plum aromatics, medium intensity ruby in colour, an appealing kick to this wine. Has charm and appellation signature. 34hl/h yield, 35% new oak for ageing."

  "Black cherries, smoked earth, leather, and graphite all emerge from the 2022 Château Olivier, a concentrated, rich, medium to full-bodied 2022 that has building tannins, solid mid-palate depth and richness, and a great finish. Give it a few years for the tannins to round into form, and this beauty will cruise over the following 15-20 years."

  "Olives, smoke, black plums, black cherries, flowers, and tobacco spring from the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, creamy, lively, and silky, with ample layers of sweet, ripe, dark fruits, cocoa, and minerality in the finish adding more lift and complexity. The wine blends 49% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2026-2040."

  " Sanguine and iron show themselves early on, while the core of warmed cassis and steeped cherry fruit moves along steadily. Polished in feel, with fine-grained alder and cedar notes asserting themselves on the suave finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2039. 9,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported."
