A blend of 49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot, Les Pelerins de Lafon-Rochet 2022 has a pH of 3.73. It is deep garnet-purple in color with notes of stewed black plums, blackberry preserves, and blueberry compote leaping from the glass, followed by hints of sandalwood and allspice. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers intense black fruit layers, with plenty of freshness and nice, ripe rounded tannins, finishing with lovely purity.
