Chateau Poesia St-Emilion Grand Cru 2015

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new French oak. This is a classic, restrained, balanced, and concentrated St-Emilion. A perfumed nose with aromas of rose petals, violets, raspberry, red plum, oak, and smoke. On the palate, there’s a nice grip to the drying tannins, with some clove, nutmeg, black pepper, and licorice. Ripe, pure fruit that gives the wine weight without it being too big
