Château Haut-Riot Cuvée Juliette 2022

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bright cassis fruit, deep and expressive, rich without being jammy, perfumed without leafiness, an aura of oak glowing in the background, while the palate is medium bodied and utterly slurpable, round and smooth, easy to drink. Not one for the long term but an absolute treat in its youth.
