Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Deep ruby. Slightly musty, earthy nose of graphite and dark cherry. Riper kirsch underneath. Quite a mouthful, with chewy wood tannin and sweet liquorice. Chewy and dense, yet still lined with acidity. Ripe, but not overworked. (TP)

The 2017 Magrez-Fombrauge is plush, dark and inviting, with terrific balance and tons of near- and medium-term appeal. Succulent black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and new oak give the wine its extroverted, racy personality. There is not a whole lot of subtlety here, but the 2017 is a delicious, unfussy Saint-Émilion that will drink well right out of the gate.
The 2017 Magrez-Fombrauge is inky, plush and deep, with tons of blackberry fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice and new leather character. This is an especially plush, concentrated style. Vinification in barrel gives Magrez-Fombrauge much of its opulent, pushed feel. Tasted four times.
One of the original garage wines, the 2017 Magrez Fombrauge is a blockbuster made from 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc that will see 18 months in new barrels. It offers a huge nose of chocolaty dark fruits, crushed rocks, and sweet oak as well as full-bodied richness, impressive mid-palate depth, and sweet tannin. Deep, rich, gorgeously textured, and lengthy, it could be a true superstar and up with the crème de la crème in the vintage.
