mint and blood orange all build effortlessly
but readers have to be patient
Established in the 1960’s
the Pajorè is quite compact and a bit of a bruiser
giving structure and clear terroir markers with a lingering minerality on the finish
2022 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 1.5L Ventoux mint and blood orange all100 points, The Wine Advocate "The 2022 Les Carmes Haut Brion is the finest wine bottled to date at this estate under Patrice Pichet's ownership and Guillaume Pouthier's direction. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of violet, iris, dark wild berries, pencil lead and mulberries, it's medium to full bodied, deep and concentrated with a deep core of fruit beautifully framed by velvety, precise tannins, segueing into a long, saline and perfumed finish.
