  Have to agree with the_cat. Really hitting its stride and showing what a spectacular vintage 2010 was. Nice balance of fruit and acid, good tension and finish.

  Right at the beginning of its apogee lots of red and black fruit’s some nice roasted notes. Full bodied with soft tannins and excellent length

  More like a middle aged Rhône wine than anything else. Smoky Saint emilion impressions from big oak barrel charr adds the possibility of a modern right bank Bordeaux. Really nice acidity is keeping things from coming unhinged, so I’m pretty comfortable with keeping a few of these around, but gone is the hope for an elegant Bordeaux. More like a non expressive, good old wine. Drink

  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.
