Vinous Neal Martin - 26 Jan 23
The 2018 Deyrem Valentin has a more bullish and extravagant bouquet than the 2019. It builds confidence in the glass with kirsch, orange peel and wild strawberry scents. The palate is well balanced with plush, ripe, sweet tannins, although the 2019 has more complexity and grip on the finish. Thoroughly enjoyable now, and it should drink well over the next decade.

Cru bourgeois supérieur. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. 15 months in barrel, 50% new. Deep crimson. Fragrant with cassis, a touch of cedar and lightly peppery. The oak shows more on the palate but it's fully integrated with the fruit and freshness. Long finish. Tannins are fine and the whole is quite light bodied, certainly not fleshy. A little bit of heat on the finish. (JH)
