James Suckling über den Chateau Fonbadet 2019 Pauillac:
8 Jan, 2022 – Aromas of blackcurrant, walnut and dark tobacco follow through to a medium body with well-integrated tannins to pull the whole thing together. Flavorful and complex finish. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot and malbec. A year or two will make it so much better, but I like it now. Try after 2024.
Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Fonbadet 2019 Pauillac:
The 2019 Fonbadet is such a charmer. Soft and forward, with silky contours, Fonbadet is an absolute delight. Blood orange, crushed flowers and spice lift a core of bright red berry fruit. This open-knit, supple Pauillac is so expressive and inviting, even in the early going. The 2019 is a fine effort.
Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Fonbadet 2019 Pauillac:
The 2019 Fonbadet, impressive from barrel, has a delineated bouquet of blackberry, bilberry and touch of licorice that gains intensity with aeration; this is a Pauillac with ambition. The palate is medium-bodied with grip and density, broad shoulders and a very saline finish. This should age supremely well.
Der Chateau Fonbadet 2019 Pauillac am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart nach Nougat, reifen Kirschen und etwas Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Velour, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, gute Komplexität und Süße, gut integrierte Tannine frisch strukturiert, mineralisch im Abgang, feiner rotbeeriger Touch, bereits antrinnkbar, mit Potenzial ausgestattet, klare positive Tendenz.
