Wine Critic Reviews
Readers shouldn't overlook the 2022 Resèrve de la Comtesse, a lovely wine that's one of the most accomplished second wines of Bordeaux. Offering up aromas of sweet minty berries, burning embers, pencil shavings and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, lavish and aromatic, with an almost exotic core of fruit, powdery tannins and a penetrating finish.

The 2022 Réserve has a lively and well defined nose: blackberry, pencil shavings and brine scents unfolding in the glass. Just a scintilla of herbaceousness that works well here. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry. Just a little lower in acidity than I might have liked, which takes away a bit of tension and race, although there is decent fruit purity on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
