La Bienfaisance de Chateau Sanctus St.-Emilion 2015

|---|
| Ripe, with alluring damson plum and cherry preserve flavors that take the lead thanks to a judicious hand with the toast, while light floral, red licorice and singed balsam notes fill in the background. Supple finish. Best from 2019 through 2025. 3,458 cases made. |

| The 2015 La Bienfaisance de Château Sanctus is a superb second wine that deftly balances fruit and structure. A rush of dark cherry, orange peel, plum, rose petal and spice nuances make a strong opening statement. There is more than enough stuffing to support at least a handful of years in the cellar. All the elements are impeccably balanced. This is terrific for what it is. |

| Attractive violets, earthy dark plums and mulberries here lead to a palate with very plush yet supple raspberry and blackberry flavors, smooth, chocolatey tannins and a nicely focused finish. Try from 2021. |
