Fine wood spices, black licorice, fresh blackberries and touches of violets and dark chocolate on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with polished, chalky tannins. Long and juicy in the finish, with lots of fresh, sweet blueberries at the end. Already approachable, but better with one more year of bottle aging. This should hold very well in the next eight to 10 years. Drink from 2026.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Smoky black fruits, graphite, chalky mineral, and spicy nuances all emerge from the 2022 Château Destieux, a plush, upfront, heavenly Saint-Emilion revealing sweet tannins, a soft, supple mouthfeel, and outstanding length. Based on two-thirds Merlot and the balance equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 70% new oak, give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.

A nose of dark and sweet Cabernet fruits, dressed with gorse flower and toast, with a little vein of reduction holding it all back right now. The palate has a lovely sense of coherence though, with a linear and juicy core of fruit, all currants, roses, liquorice and toast, wrapped in a tight ribbon around a core of dense, compact and ripe tannins. It finishes correct and taut, with a sappy frame. This holds together very well, juicy, floral and dark, with a lovely sense of freshness and drive, through to a long grip of ripe tannins. Well done.

A bit of a show-off, with warmed cassis and plum sauce notes holding sway with melted licorice, fruitcake and black tea accents. Velvety and caressing, but there's enough underlying tension for spine and focus. This crowd-pleaser offers a not-shy dose of mocha on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2034. 1,786 cases made.

The 2022 Destieux is a plush, stylish Saint-Émilion. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, cloves and new leather are all beautifully amplified in this extroverted, deep wine. There's a strong oak imprint here, but the 2022 is still attractive.
