Château Jean Faure 2023

The 2023 Jean Faure has turned out beautifully this year, bursting with aromas of mulberries, rose petals, iris and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s seamless and enveloping, with real mid-palate plenitude, supple tannins and a long, delicately minty finish. It’s a blend of fully 65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 5% Malbec. (William Kelley,robertparker.com)
