The 2022 Moulin Riche exhibits aromas of sweet dark berries, plums, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that`s framed by sweet, generously extracted tannins that lend it a punchy, modern style. It`s a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot from a 20-hectare block located in inland Saint-Julien. 90-92 points

Careful extraction of the rich ripe berry fruits here, with edges of baked plum and raspberry, followed by black pepper, rosemary and underbrush. Intense, marked by the vintage, with confident delivery, and welcome black choclate bitterness on the finish. Harvest September 8 to 28, 20ha. 88 points

The 2022 Moulin Riche is a big, almost shockingly dense wine in this vintage. Super-ripe black cherry, gravel, incense, tobacco and licorice build nicely, but it is the intensity of the primary fruit that really stands out in this tasting. The 2022 is an exotic Moulin Riche, that much is pretty clear. 90-92 points

The 2022 Moulin Riche needed a little time to cohere in the glass. Picked from 2-28 September with 30-35% new oak, it has quite a high-toned bouquet, almost honeyed in style, yet it retains satisfying delineation with touches of melted tar and graphite. The palate is concentrated and very structured, maybe a little drier than the nose suggests, a powerful Moulin Riche with a lightly spiced, quite assertive finish. Fine. 90-92 points
