Chateau Fonreaud 2018 Listrac Medoc
Lots of cedar, sappy green herbs, and assorted red and black fruits emerge from the 2018 Château Fonreaud. Medium-bodied, with a balanced, elegant texture and impressive, polished tannins, I love its purity of fruit. This charming, elegant 2018 should benefit from a year or two of bottle age and have a good decade of longevity.
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Fonreaud 2018 Listrac Medoc wie folgt:Savory aromas of dried mushroom and forest floor here, with blackcurrants and dried leaves. Some dried citrus peel, too. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink from 2022
Neal Martin im März 2021: The 2018 Fonréaud has an exuberant bouquet featuring more red than black fruit, offering raspberry and wild strawberry and touches of tobacco and espresso; I like the manner in which this unfolds. The medium-bodied palate is delineated with a fine bead of acidity and grainy tannins, although the oak seems to dominate on the finish and lends a dark chocolate smear that detracts from its precision (also one of its attributes in barrel). I hope that will be assimilated with time.
