2022 Mangot

Note di degustazione
Aromas of sweet cherries, petals and licorice introduce the 2022 Château Mangot, a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered wine that's suave and multidimensional, its concentrated core of lively fruit built around sweet, powdery tannins. It's the finest Mangot I've tasted to date, and a decade from now, readers will have a lot of fun including this in blind tastings against more famous names.

The 2022 Château Mangot is based on 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant Saint-Emilion offering lovely red and blue fruits, some subtle sappy herbs, celery seed, floral nuances, fine tannins, and beautiful overall balance. I always find a green, herbaceous edge in these wines, yet this certainly brings beautiful fruit and has plenty to love. I suspect it will evolve for two decades with ease.
The 2022 Mangot has a pleasing bouquet with pure black cherry, blueberry and iris flower scents. The oak is nicely integrated and opulent but not overpowered. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, good sapidity and a little compactness on the finish, but it should loosen up with time. This is one to keep an eye on.
The 2022 Mangot is another impressive wine from this château. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, mint and blood orange. Mangot is no longer the brooding powerhouse it once was, but it is still a pretty heady Saint-Émilion. In 2022, it’s the balance of fruit intensity and energy that impresses most. Tasted three times.
