The 2015 Jean Faux wraps around the palate with notable depth and intensity. Silky, sumptuous and forward, the 2015 offers striking intensity to match its unctuous, inviting personality. Succulent black cherry, plum, violets, mint and lavender add the closing shades of nuance- Vinous, Antonio Galloni.
