A blend of 54% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Couhins reveals aromas of cassis, lilac, iris, spring flowers and elegant hints of spices, typical of this cooler limestone terroir. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, ample and fleshy, with velvety tannins and a vibrant core of fruit, concluding with a long, fruity finish. This is an impressive effort from an estate to watch.
