Another fruit-loaded 2018 with loads of character, the 2018 Château Couhins gives up ample red currant and black cherry-like fruits as well as medium to full body, notes of leafy herbs, earth, and saddle leather, soft, supple tannins (but plenty of them), and a great finish. Give bottles 3-4 years and drink over the following 10-12. The blend is 56% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, brought up in one-third new French oak.
