Château la Vieille Cure (Fonsac) (2016)

Varietal(s):  80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc

This was one of the wines of the vintage. It is a little more finely grained, slightly more structured and with a touch higher acidity, but still has those succulent black cherry and damson purée fruits. It also retains the twist of glamorous charred oak notes that give it punch and purpose. An excellent wine.
