(1/4/2022) "Aromatic and herbal on the nose, sweetly fruited with strawberries and cherries but with this edge of dried herbs - rosemary and thyme. Gorgeous clarity - precise, clean, bountiful, generous and bright. Great acidity and just clarity of fruit - feels polished and sleek with excellent juice on the mid palate and a lovely chared smokiness that gives a striking detail to the overall profile. Well-textured tannins are grippy but also softly chewy giving a dense and plentiful mouthful but with charm - nothing too much. Drink now and enjoy the youthful vibrancy but this will be good over time too. Just a touch of liquorice spice on the finish giving texture and nuance. The best grapes from the 40ha under vine go into this wine. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2035."

(2/2022) "The 2019 Carlmagnus has a perfumed nose of ample black fruit, spicebox and light cedar aromas; the oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and quite fleshy, with supple tannins and plush red cherries and wild strawberry mixed with desiccated orange peel toward the finish. This has matured nicely in barrel. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2036."

(2/2022) "The 2019 Carlmagnus is quite pretty and also more refined than it was in barrel. Silky and beautifully perfumed, with lovely balance, the 2019 impresses with its overall harmony. All the elements are very nicely put together. Crushed flowers, spice and sweet red berry fruit linger. This tasty Fronsac has a lot to offer. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2034."
