Château Berliquet, Grand Cru Classé, St. Emilion 2021 6x75cl

(91-93) Points, Neal Martin, 2029-2050 Vinous The 2021 Berliquet was picked September 23 to October 5 at 30hL/ha, and matured in 44% new oak for a planned 16 months. Limpid purple in color. The nose is surprisingly concentrated given the growing season, offering crème de cassis and violet petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins that frame the black cherry and boysenberry fruit. Not a complex Berliquet, yet it possesses admirable substance and ripeness on the finish. One to watch.Review Date: 13 May 22
