Tasted April 2022. One of our favourite second wines this vintage, this is medium-bodied and appetising, with mineral notes, spicy cedar, and grippy tannins. The fruit character is restrained but ripe and mostly of dark berry fruits. Refined and savoury, this is a lovely wine.
Wafting from the glass with notes of blackberries, minty cassis, petals and pencil shavings, the 2021 Resèrve de la Comtesse is medium to full-bodied, ample and polished, with a fleshy core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a seamless, succulent profile. This beautifully balanced wine will drink well on release. It's one of the most successful second wines produced this year.
