Chateau La Vieille Cure, Fronsac, France 2016 Faizeau Four Nations (Futsu-Shu Housui) isA riper style with some darker plum and mulberry aromas, framed in lightly spicy and cedary oak influence. The palate has good depth and silkiness with a wealth of fine, plush tannins and a smooth, fresh and flavorful finish. A blend of merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. 92 James Suckling
