Note di degustazione
The 2005 Château Fombrauge was tough to read, with a subtle kiss of oxidation in its aromatics at first yet it was still opulent and textured on the palate, with a full-bodied, concentrated profile as well as some chocolate dark fruits, roasted herbs, and graphite like aromatics that built with time in the glass. Clearly a big, ripe, sexy wine, it’s tough to say if this was just a slightly suspect bottle, or if the wine is starting to dry out. I lead toward the former, yet judgment reserved here.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson with some purple notes. Light nose with a vague hint of lead pencils (Cabernet Franc?). More aromatic lift than most and non-exaggerated structure. Mild relative to many of its peers. Quite appetising and juicy. GV ? (JR)
Another wine from Bernard Magrez, his 2005 Fombrauge (77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon from the largest vineyard in St.-Emilion) is special. More tannic and backward than usual, and much more masculine and bigger-boned, this is a full-bodied, textured and rich wine that should hit its prime in another 4-5 years, and last 15-20. It is a stunning effort from Fombrauge that has still not attained full maturity.
