Chateau Vieux des Combes Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2016

The perfumed Cabernet Franc makes this wine, even though the blend is dominated by Merlot. It gives the structure and smoky richness that bring out the black-plum fruits and acidity. The wine is not yet ready; wait until 2022. 92/100 ROGER VOSS
Based on how great the ’16 vintage was this will cellar quite happily for the next decade.
