Note di degustazione
The 2012 Château Fonplegade is also gorgeous and shows how strong 2012 was for Saint-Emilion (and Pomerol and Graves). Cassis, violets, toasty oak, licorice and damp earth notes all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated, ripe and sexy wine that has terrific purity and depth.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Quite rich and ripe on the nose. Sweet start and very gentle tannins on the mid palate until some rather grainy, drying tannins on the finish. Ambitious. (JR)
Initially deep and powerful, the 2012 Fonplégade finds greater finesse with time in the glass, while never losing its essential energy. Hints of rose petal, crushed raspberries and dash of white pepper add lift to the intense finish. The 2012 needs time to unwind, but it is impressive, that much is clear.
