Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Fayat is a little closed to begin, offering subtle notes of baked black cherries, mulberries and stewed plums with emerging hints of dusty soil, sautéed herbs and black truffles with a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid, well-constructed frame of firm, ripe tannins and seamless freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing earthy.
