Chateau Fontenil, Fronsac

Belle fraicheur et fruit. Cerises et chocolat avec des tannins fins. Pas le plus mais sans accroc. Bien.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and raisin. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), blueberry, vanilla and oak. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Fresh and lifted, with a palate loaded with black raspberries, cherries and plums. The wine is energetic, elegant and pure. There is a salty note on the back end that fades just as the refreshing nuance of spearmint comes in. You can enjoy this with pleasure on release for its fruit and freshness. Drink from 2024-2036.

(90-92 vvPunkte) Leuchtendes Rubin. Reiffruchtige Nase, Brombeeren und Himbeeren, florale Töne, sehr duftig. Im Gaumen anfangs cremig und rund, zeigt Schmelz, dann packt der Gerbstoff zu, die Tannine sind markant, fein mit der knackigen Frucht verwoben, die Elemente noch jugendlich und wild, alles jedoch mit viel Charakter und im Abgang mit saftigem, frischem Fruchtfinale. Sehr knackig! 2027-2040 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux/Dourthe) vvWine.ch
