Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château de Tabuteau / Lussac Saint-Émilion
This blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from just north of Saint-Émilion is still structured and firm. Big tannins and smoky flavors give a dense character. The black fruits still need time to round out and show smoothness. For now decant, or wait until 2017 to drink.
