A lot of ripe fruit in the back odor

2017 Chateau Croix de Labrie Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France Violet Hill sage and balsamic spiceThe 2017 Croix de Labrie has turned out beautifully. Rich and ample on the palate, the 2017 possesses notable depth and textural resonance from start to finish. Red cherry, raspberry jam, pomegranate, dried herbs, tobacco, incense and blood orange all meld together in a rich, creamy Saint milion loaded with personality. This is such a gorgeous wine. Tasted two times. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
