and with 54

stoney nuances

showing some mineral and limey fruit

it is an explosion of red fruits however it remains structured with melted tannins

2020 | Château Faugères | Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Weingut Okonomierat Rebholz with wood spice and graphiteDeep purple black colored, the 2020 Faugres stampedes out of the glass with a herd of powerful black fruit notes: blackberry pie, baked black plums and ripe, juicy black cherries, plus hints of wild mushrooms, damp soil, tar and star anise with a waft of tobacco. The full bodied palate is chock full of black fruit preserves, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy. 95 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
