James Suckling (95-96)
Very tight and finely tannined with a compact palate and loads of blue-fruit and blackberry character. It’s full-bodied, but muscular and focused, to pull it into form.In Bond€220.00 -

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)
The 2014 Faurie de Souchard has turned out beautifully. Sweet red cherry preserve, rose petal, mint and spice give striking aromatic lift to balance the supple, red-toned fruit. There is gorgeous purity and sensuality to the flavors, but also good aromatic intensity. The 2014 needs a few years in bottle to soften, but it is super-impressive and appealing today. Tasted two times.In Bond€155.00 -
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)
The 2016 Faurie de Souchard is plump, racy and forward, all of which make it easy to taste and enjoy, even on the young side. Raspberry jam, mocha and sweet spice are all pushed forward in a creamy, voluptuous Saint-Émilion that is quite expressive today. The 2016 could benefit from a bit more time to help the oak integrate, but that is a relatively small critique. Tasted two times.In Bond€356.00
