Expert Reviews
Lovely dense and concentrated nose of ripe cherries and blackcurrants. Similar on the palate, really lovely concentration driven by good freshness and soft juicy tannins. I love the fullness here, it's quite rich but well presented with a hint of spice on the finish. Tannins make an impression and give a good length. It's a powerful style with alcohol just poking through at the end.
The 2019 Fonroque has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of blackberries, minty cassis, licorice and spices. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, it's a rich, generous, demonstrative wine that remains nicely balanced. Part of Fonroque's biodynamically farmed holdings are located on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, and the rest on the slopes, with more clay and colluvium.
