Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94-95
“The 2022 Berliquet is brilliant, bursting with aromas of plums, wild berries and lilac, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant palate that’s deep and mineral. It’s likely to be another of the vintage’s more attractive en primeur proportions. This estate just goes from strength to strength —and that’s before its new winery has been constructed! One of the most significant changes has been opting to retain higher canopies, which means that the fruiting zone of rows planted along the slope is now shaded, preserving freshness.”
The Wine Independent 93-95
“Deep garnet-purple in color, it flies out of the glass with notes of lilacs, red roses, and Sichuan pepper, leading to a core of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and wild blueberries plus a waft of truffles. The full-bodied palate is rich and opulent, with loads of bright red berry sparks and a lively backbone, finishing on a lingering mineral note. pH 3.55.”
Jane Anson 94
“Dark damson colour, beautiful sense of uplift and freshness, with mint leaf, sage, wild rosemary, cassis fruits. Slate texture to the wine here, feels carved out and crafted, with edges of austerity that constrict the cassis and raspberry fruit. 44% new oak, 8 amphoras (around 10% of overall), the rest in one-year-old barrel, 45hl/h yield. Great stuff.”
