Château Fonroque, 2020

"Subdued aromatics, this is attractive with raspberry flavours rippling through it and an appealing density, more old school and restrained than some, with classic balance. As it opens up, floral raspberry leaf appears in the best way, juicy and unfussy with crushed herbs and baked earth. Enjoyable, definitely not trying too hard and succeeding to charm. Certified biodynamic, Alain Moueix. A yield of 40hl/ha."

"Cask sample. Very attractive nose with leather, pure dark-berry fruit and crushed violets. Lovely textured and layered palate with supple tannins, sweet plummy notes, cinnamon and spice, herbal notes and well-judged acidity. The oak is nicely balanced against the fruit core and the alcohol is very well integrated."
