The 2023 Berliquet is the first vintage produced in the estate`s new winery, equipped with double the number of vats, permitting proper separation of blocks. That`s especially important, as Berliquet is a more diverse terroir than Canon, and it can now be interpreted with much more precision. Offering up aromas of cherries, black raspberries, licorice and violets, it`s medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a fleshy core of concentrated fruit, refined, chalky tannins and lively acids. 93-95 points
