Chateau Fayat 2016 Pomerol 750ml

This has an exotic hint, with warm fig and boysenberry compote flavors forming the core, along with a healthy dose of licorice root, roasted apple wood and sweet tobacco notes. Features a slightly woodsy texture but the fruit keeps pace, ending with an echo of incense. Best from 2022 through 2031.
