【Vivino 4.3】【2016年 Saint Emilion Good vintage 】
Drinking notes: This Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe smells delicious black fruits as soon as it is opened, with strong fruity aromas of black cherries, jam, and cloves. The wine is full-bodied and creamy. The tannins are powerful but very fine, with backbone. It has good acidity and has the ability to age for at least ten years. It subverts the impression that Saint Emilion wine is softer than usual. Excellent with beef short ribs. It is worth mentioning that the 2016 Saint Emilion is a beautiful vintage. Both 2016 and 2015 were the best vintages in the past ten years. They received historically high scores on the Wine Advocate vintagechart, second only to 2000, which scored 96 points.
【James Suckling 94pts】
There’s a wealth of ripe and rich darkplums and berries on offer here with a regal array of plush, velvety tannins that have great length and power. Precision and balance. Certainly among the best wines in 2016.
【Robert Parker 93pts】
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Faurie de Souchard reveals crushed raspberries, warm red and black cherries and chocolate box scents with hints of wood smoke, tilled soil and dried herbs. Medium-bodied and wonderfully elegant in the mouth, it has exquisitely ripe tannins and just enough freshness to support the delicate flavors, finishing perfumed.
