Chateau L'if•2022

This 2022 Saint-Émilion from Chateau L'if is rich and enveloping, layering ripe blackberries and dark plum with cocoa, warm spice and a faint nutty echo. The palate is compact and intense yet finely shaped, with polished but assertive tannins giving a firm backbone to the fruit and drawing it out in a long, savory finish. It’s a modern, concentrated expression that still keeps an impressive sense of poise and precision.
