Score 18.5/20 · Drink 1950-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2022
This bottle apparently had quite a low level. Brownish colour but far from past it. Rich, slightly peppery nose. It smelt just like a sugar syrup that had reached the caramel stage and was just starting to burn. Amazingly, it was lighter than La Montagne 2022. Very slight bitterness on the end. Michael Broadbent gives the 1922 white Bordeaux vintage just one star … (JR)
