Chateau Jean Faure, Grand Cru Classe, St. Emillon 2018

"The 2018 Jean Faure bursting from the glass with bold notions of baked black plums, blackberry pie and boysenberry preserves, followed by hints of Chinese five spice, potpourri and smoked meats with a touch of black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with flavors of black fruit preserves, supported by rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing spicy."- Wine Advocate

"Blackberries, plums, dark chocolate, dried flowers and mahogany on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Supple and elegant. "-James Suckling
