Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:The 2016 de Fonbel is a soft. fruity wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry and plum fruit is nicely pushed forward in this succulent. easygoing Saint-Émilion from the Vauthier family.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
Composed of 70% Merlot. 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. 7% Petit Verdot and 7% Carménère. the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Fonbel has a classic nose of warm red plums. cigar box and black plums with nuances of redcurrants. Sichuan pepper and tar. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers a lot of mid-palate fruit with lovely plush tannins and a long refreshing finish.
James Suckling Januar 2019:This has a spicy edge with black and red fruit. as well as a reductive edge. leading to a succulent and juicy array of bright raspberries and red cherries. Drink or hold.
