Really nicely done with blackberries, black olives, walnuts and spicy fruit. It’s full-bodied, round and rich. Wild fruit. From organically grown grapes.

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.

Enticing, delivering plum sauce and blackberry preserve flavors, with singed vanilla and tobacco. Features a flash of anise on the finish. Solid. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. 4,100 cases made, 300 cases imported. — JM
