Château Fontenil 2014

Fronsac

-

The nose offers a fine concentrat­ion. It reveals notes of wood, sweet spices and cassis associated with a touch of blackberry, raspberry, fresh red berries and subtle touches of chocolate and sweet spices / cardamom. This wine need to be put in carafe. After aeration there is an impercepti­ble hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine minerality, a nice juiciness, an acid frame, fat and a fine suavity. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy strawberry and toasted touches oak associated with subtle touches of flowers, cassis as well as touches of chocolate / sweet spices on the finish. Tannins are fine and very slightly dry. Good length and good persistenc­e.

Score : 15.5
