Château Le Bon Pasteur 2022

Description

Lovely floral aromatics. Tannic and massy, although fully fruity and lively, this has both the structure and concentration of the vintage - with lashings of Pomerol power - with really quite present and upfront tannins as well as a nice juiciness and tangy bitterness to the finish. Despite the clear heft, there is freshness and cool blue fruit touches which stop it from becoming too much. On the riper fuller side, but still with definition to the finish. The structure is at the fore so covers some of the more friendly juicy aspects but it keeps its frame and drive. A yield of 34hl/ha. Drinking window: 2025-2045. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
