Dessault Château Faurie de Souchard Classé Saint-Émilion Grand Cru France 2018

Tasting Notes: Ripe plum, blackberry, and black cherry unfold alongside violet, tobacco, dark nougat, licorice, and delicate balsamic spice. The palate is polished and harmonious, with finely integrated tannins, lively freshness, and subtle minerality carrying into a lingering, chocolate-tinged finish with excellent aging potential.
