Chateau Jean Faux Les Sources Bordeaux Superieur

Dark crimson red in colour. Intense on the bouquet with ripe red fruit, clove and some leather. The palate brings red fruit followed by more spicy and leathery notes. Tannins are grainy and ripe. Surprising freshness for this warm vintage. Fruit forward, warm and gentle on the finish.
