Chateau Rouget, Pomerol, France 2016 San Giovanni passion fruitWow. This is very polished and full of purpose with dark berries, hazelnuts, cedar and chocolate, as well as black olives. Full bodied, chewy and intense with a focused tannin backbone and intensity. Loads going on here. Finishes strong. This could be the best wine ever from here. 96 Pts James Suckling
