Community Tasting Notes 6

  October 7, 2011 - 2005 Chateau Fonguillon Saint Emilion... First taste, drinkable, serviceable but rien à écrire sur la maison!
  
  2hours later... Nose diminishing, some good fruit on the front but little on the end, beautiful color that just doesn't deliver hoped for results. This is a good Bord that would service a pizza, or a burger... But would fall flat with a seared steer. 87.

  June 1, 2011 - Sandalwood finish but otherwise not particularly compelling.

  September 16, 2010 - This is a reasonably priced Bordeaux that had the minerality, fruit, and balance of oak which made the 3 hrs. of getting to know each other a very ejoyable evening. Great value!

  3. chocolate = merlot

  Blind tasted: initially I called a right bank merlot from 2007 so off by 2 years only
  
  : some finesse, med+ length, good not spec intensity, good concentration of fruit, now that it is decanted good typicity of area, flavors a bit weak so can not benefit from further aging starting now
