Naso tornato e intrigante. Al Palato femminile e leggiadro. — 11 days ago
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black fruit, tar, smoky tobacco, dusty earth and baking spices. The palate is full of cooked black cherry/currant/plum fruit flavors, blueberries, black tea, graphite and those baking spices. Hint of vanilla and minerals on the long and lingering finish. Medium-plus bodied and muscular structure. Chewy tannins and nicely integrated acidity. Still a bit tight but heading to a very good place with some additional bottle age. — a month ago

2022 vintage. Beautiful special label by Bordeaux artist Anaïs Vindel to celebrate Denis Lurton's 30 years at the head of Desmirail. The oak seems a bit more toasted than usual, but it is well-integrated. More weight compared to the excellent 2016, this will need time, but might turn out to be the best Desmirail ever. Abv. 13%. Conservative score for now. — a day ago
