Score 90-92/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2024

A year-in, year-out smoking good wine as well as a perennial value, the 2023 Château La Vieille Cure is deep purple and reveals a great nose of black and blue fruits, spicy oak, graphite, and a touch of earth. It brings medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, with ripe, polished, yet building tannins and a great finish. Clearly destined to be an outstanding wine, I suspect it will need 2-3 years of bottle age.

Minty, with licorice, salty cherries, plums, and crushed stone notes start the wine off. From there, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh, soft, forward, refined, and fruity. If you are seeking a really nice wine, without spending a lot of bucks, check this wine out. You can enjoy it with pleasure on release, and for another 12 or more years after that.

The 2023 La Vieille Cure is deep garnet-purple in color. A touch closed to start, broody tar and cedar notions eventually open out to notes of baked plums and boysenberry preserves with wafts of underbrush and wild sage in the background. The medium to full-bodied palate has appealing freshness and soft tannins, with lively black fruit and a savory finish.

This shows tension and backbone with vivid acidity and inviting fruit character. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Solid and structured.
