Closeries des Moussis Haut-Medoc 2022: Velvety Depth and Poise

Kai Oliveira — Really impressed with this one

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down a storm. Loads of dark berry fruit and a nice earthy thing going on underneath. Tannins are smooth enough that you don't need to decant it for ages. At £38.50 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for a special meal.

Aria Kim — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Got this as a birthday present to myself and I'm glad I did. Proper dark fruit — blackberry jam vibes — with a lovely clean finish. The tannins are firm but not harsh at all. I don't know much about Haut-Medoc but this has made me want to explore more from the region.

Derek Chang — Nice but a bit much for the price

6/10

The wine shop guy recommended this and it's decent — dark cherry flavours, bit of spice, nicely put together. But for nearly forty quid I expected something that'd blow me away and it didn't quite get there. Would probably pick something else at this price point.
