2016, Château Plince, AOC POMEROL

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc.

Smoky notes of cold ash spiral through the palate, while the fantastic concentration of fruit balances against gorgeous freshness and some menthol notes, finishing with tobacco and slate. Seductive, yet still intellectual. 93 Jane Anson, Decanter.

Drinking Window: 2022 - 2035
