Note di degustazione
The 2016 Jean Faure is a vintage that I never clicked with, despite the reputation of the growing season. Deep in hue, it presents an attractive, pure, sensual bouquet of black plums, raspberry, orange blossom and espresso. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins on the entry and good depth and grip, but it’s a little stolid and does not convey the complexity and personality of the previous vintage. Comparing them side by side, this is one instance in which the 2015 has more to offer.

Purplish crimson. Quite a gamey nose. Then very dry sudden finish. A sort of aggressively fruity style that I don’t think works. Awkward finish. (JR)
Lots of herbal, earthy notes emerge from the 2016 Château Jean Faure, and it's medium-bodied, savory, and relatively one-dimensional on the palate. A blend of close to equal parts Cabernet franc and Merlot, it's best drunk over the coming 7-8 years.
