Chateau Franc-Maillet Jean Baptiste Cuvee Pomerol Bordeaux France 2019

Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and violets meet graphite and cocoa. The palate carries blackberry, cassis, and licorice with hints of truffle and cedar. Supple yet structured, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and a lengthy, mineral-tinged, polished finish, persistently.

Acclaim: 96 Points, James Suckling
