La Vieille Cure 2022 (750ML)

93-94 JS / 92 JA / 91-93 JD / 88-90 WA

A beautiful and transparent La Vieille Cure with ultra-fine tannins and bright acidity. Balanced and vivid. Medium body. Really well done here. - James Suckling

Carefully delivered damson and black cherry fruit layered with grilled vanilla bean, charred liqourice root and apricot pit, plenty of texture and depth, high volume, these are plush dramatic wines in the vintage, full of impact. 40% new oak. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Always a smoking good bottle of wine, the 2022 Château La Vieille Cure sports a deep purple hue as well as terrific aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, leafy herbs, chocolate, and crushed stone. With full-bodied richness, a lush, layered, seamless mouthfeel, and ripe tannins, it's going to way over-deliver and should have 10-12 years, if not longer, of prime drinking.-Jeb Dunnuck

Aromas of licorice, dark berries, spices and cassis preface the 2022 La Vieille Cure, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy, fruit-driven wine framed by velvety tannins. It's nicely balanced, with a fresh and elegant finish. This is a blend of 78% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate
