This has an exotic hint, with warm fig and boysenberry compote flavors forming the core, along with a healthy dose of licorice root, roasted apple wood and sweet tobacco notes. Features a slightly woodsy texture but the fruit keeps pace, ending with an echo of incense. Best from 2022 through 2031. 2,833 cases made. — JM
Fayat combines the freshness of the vintage with beautifully deep, vibrant red fruits. Lovely persistency and elegance, showing restraint despite the 50% new oak. Merlot vines over 100 years old planted on gravel make up 10% of the blend, which overall is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. 3.7pH.
Drinking Window 2025 - 2040
Rich and dark, blood-orange and red-fruit aromas with a deep-set array of quite ripe and rich tannins that carry well into the plum-soaked finish. Attractive build and depth here. Try from 2021.
