"The 2018 Château Belle Assise Coureau is mostly Merlot coming from the lower plains of Saint-Emilion, which are deeper, more sandy, clay soils. Its deep purple color is followed by a terrific bouquet of black cherries, redcurrants, green tobacco, cedarwood, and chocolate-like aromas and flavors. It's nicely textured and medium to full-bodied, has silky tannins, and is just a beautiful, complex, layered 2018 with loads to love. Drink bottles any time over the coming 10-12 years or more."
