  2006 Chateau de Fonbel, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru sang, oeil leg brun, N petit fr r/n, du fume, terre et chmpignons. B attaque equilibree, tannins fondus, tout en douceur, matiere mi-legere avec une petite charpente. Tres plaisant mais pas tres excitant 14.5/15

  This is a decent value everyday drinker, and is approachable straight from the bottle.

  Still not loving this. Not much to add to my note of May 2018. Still holding up well but for me rather lacks charm at the back end.

  Traditionally styled. Tart red and dark berries, saddle leather, and chalky tannins. Old school. This felt like a trip back in time.

  I discovered this in a corner of my cellar - no idea how it got there. Quite a civilized, restrained wine, unlike the 2005, this has good notes of dark cherry with a slight hint of cinnamon and a citrus fruit finish. Quite reminiscent of Moulin St.Georges in that it is straitlaced and precise. Not bad at all.
