Château des Bachelards Saint-Amour 2018 (VM93)
“Deep, shimmering magenta. Potent, smoke-accented red and blue fruit and floral aromas are complicated by suggestions of incense and allspice. Silky and broad on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors that turn sweeter and livelier on the back half. Deep but sharply delineated, delivering strong thrust and rounded tannins that add shape and gentle grip to the impressively long finish.” – JR
