    Inside Bordeaux
    Even young, this is tasting superb, exuberant but with balance, fresh mint leaf, cumin, rosemary, cassis, espresso, creamy berry fruits coupled with fresh aromatics. Harvest began on September 5, earliest ever, finishing on September 22. 50% new oak for ageing, Eric Boissenot consultant, Philippe Delfaut director. Upscore from En Primeur. 33hl/h yield.

    The 2022 Kirwan bestows plenty of luscious fruit on the nose with blackberry, bilberry, cedar and crushed iris flower, unfolding nicely in the glass. There is a satisfying depth to these aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, lively and packed full of fruit, with saturated tannins and decent acidity. This is one of the more approachable Margaux wines this vintage, yet it has commendable freshness and structure. This Kirwan will give plenty of pleasure over 20-30 years. A second and third bottles were a little creamier on the finish.

    The 2022 Kirwan is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of plum preserves, cherry compote, and blackcurrant cordial spill from the glass, followed by nuances of rose oil, cedar chest, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich and ripe, with a lively backbone and plush tannins, finishing with a skip in its step.
