Château Maucaillou 2022

Fruit-forward, ripe and plush but also cool and fresh giving a great balance between power and focus. I like the ripe, almost chewy tannins because there’s purity and expansion, a wide frame and long length with finesse and a sense of refinement. Clearly powerful and bold but this expression really works and marries the concentrated fruit, high acidity, fine tannins and structure really well. Very enjoyable and captivating even now. Drinking Window: 2024-2036. Score – 93. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, May 14, 2023)
