Initial big, tough tannins are then cut through with fresh fruits, plums and black berries. There is some spice here, and maybe the tannins remain hard-edged, but in 2–3 years this will soften out to give a big, bold, rounded wine.

From the far eastern edge of Bordeaux, this wine offers delicious, fresh fruits structured by light tannins. Its black currant flavors are right up front, pleasure without complications.

A rare example of the sweet wines of Sainte-Foy, this is more semisweet than super sweet. As such, it has attractive apple and custard flavors in a creamy texture lifted by vanilla and lightened by fresh green plum acidity.
