Excellent depth, showing dark fruit, black chocolate and deep spices. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied with fresh, fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Lovely concentration. This will hold well.

Excellent depth, showing dark fruit, black chocolate and deep spices. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied with fresh, fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Lovely concentration. This will hold well.
A real success in the context of the vintage, the 2024 Calicem unfurls in the glass with aromas of cassis, mulberries, flowers and violet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, enrobing and layered palate with velvety tannins and good depth at the core, finishing long and delicately spicy.
The 2024 Calicem is a big, dramatic wine. Calicem is 100% Merlot vinified in wood, an approach that worked especially well in 2024. Ample and broad, this is super-refined. Black cherry, lavender, licorice, mocha and espresso all saturate the palate. This full-bodied Saint-Émilion delivers the goods. The 2024 has a lot of potential. Tasted two times.
