Expressive and complex, the 2022 Cuve le Bec shows a deep garnet color with layered aromas of pepper, clove, allspice, and loads of dark red fruits. The mouth is round on entry and through the mid-palate, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that keep the wine bright and lifted. Dark red fruits and spice glide across the palate through a long finish, where the flavors turn redderfreshly picked cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry linger beautifully. A standout vintage, the 2022 CLB will evolve gracefully for a decade or more.
