  Rosso vivo con unghia aranciata, naso inizialmente raspo verde spezie, poi frutto rosso e fiori macerati su leggera sensazione pepe. Bocca fresca, tannica, frutta e spezie in chiusura. Può essere aspettato ancora qualche anno.

  Fruits mure, anise, épicé, boisé tout en possédant un bonne acidité ainsi qu'une légère minéralité. Plus ample et ouvert que le 2010 et bien différent des autres mais il s'agit d'un excellent Fonsalette avec un grand potentiel car c'est encore bien jeune. Superbe vin maintenant, grand vin en devenir

  Nez de fruits rouges, de la cerise aussi et du poivre qu’on retrouve en bouche, c’est puissant et plus dur un peu mais non dénué de finesse, assez bel ensemble sans être transcendant, belle bouteille quand même. 90-91
  
  Pretty good wine, still powerful a little bit but has some finesse also in there, lots of red fruits, just needs some time maybe.

  Reynaud Tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Glass: Spiegelau Universal
  All wines tasted blind/blind, opened a few hours before and decanted right before the tasting.
  Clear, deep garnet color.
  Nose with some volatile acidity, brett, leaner than the 2017 before, fine fruit.
  On the palate still some impression of CO2, fresh, some brett, a bit unbalanced sweet-sour acidity, fine tannin, nice texture, very good length. What immediately popped into my mind: "This is how I imagine a natural wine made in C9dP"... 89-90

  Unfortunately I did not decant this bottle and it had a lot of sediment that was not crystallized - so much, that the last 2 glasses were so murky they resembled a smoothly - completely opaque. Up until then, a very nice wine - more reminiscent to me of a northern Rhone.
