Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 11, 2023 - Ok, boys are girls! This is my 3rd wine from Fombrauge and I'm sure it won't be last
So far I had 2004(92 pts.) and 2005(97 pts.). Let's see what this juice can bring to my tongue and brain!

An hour in decanter and... explosion of cassis in smell! And I mean it. I could sniff it forever! What else? Coffee ( strong Italian one), red cherry ( nice counterbalance!), black cherry and minerals. Enough! Taste? No surprise. Load of blackberry, black currant, coffee, black chocolate ( so delicious), vanilla, cedar
12 year old wine, but fresh and juicy. Pretty long finish with soft spice, tannins and acidity.
It's hard to find 'weakest link' in this juice.
I think it's the best QPR Grand Cru Classé in Saint Emillion
Year after year
I paid 37.56 € for this vintage.
