Maillet 2022 (750ML)

95-96 JS / 93 JA / 90-92 VM

The layers of tannins are really something in the mouth. They are ultra-fine and spread across the palate. Chewy and structured with intensity and beauty. Traditional and real. Shows promise. - James Suckling

Inky in colour and in texture, this is a visual capturing of the alcohol and heat of the vintage. As it unrolls in the glass it backs up this feeling with brushed damson and espresso, mint leaf and mandarin peel adding juice to the powerful raspberry puree. There is drama here, and high impact, but also good quality winemaking. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Haut Maillet is powerful, dark and savory, with gorgeous complexity and tons of character. Espresso, dried herbs, lavender and menthol meld into a core of blue/black fruit. The 2022 is powerful and deep, but also impeccable in its balance. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
