La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 92 points
January 25, 2023 - Château Fombrauge's 2028 iteration is an opaque ruby blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. From a bottle that was decanted through a Vinturi aerator, it serves up a plentiful load of black currant and dark cherry fruit that is accented with allspice, loamy earth, pipe tobacco and sorrel. Medium-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%), judiciously oaked and with plentiful fine-grained tannins, it stays dense on the mid-palate and finishes long. This is a beautiful reflection of the vintage and the appellation. Allow an hour or more in decanter if possible. Drink now-2038.
