Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018Medium to deep garnet-purple in color. the 2016 Fonplegade opens with a very savory nose of smoked meats. tapenade. sautéed herbs and beef drippings over a core of plum preserves. chocolate-covered cherries and cedar chest plus wafts of violets and cigars. Medium to full-bodied. the palate possesses both intensity and elegance. with the black fruit layers superbly framed by firm. fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness. finishing long and mineral laced.
Galloni von Vinous bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2016 im Januar 2019 wie folgt:The 2016 Fonplégade is just as compelling as it was from barrel. Silky and nuanced. the 2016 is super finessed from the very first impression. Sweet red cherry. espresso. blood orange and spice all pulse through this racy. impeccably balanced Saint-Émilion. while floral overtones add energy. Simply put. the 2016 is absolutely sublime. Proprietors Stephen and Denise Adams. along with their team. have done a brilliant job with their 2016. Tasted two times.
Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:A very suave. modern-style St.-Emilion with fine blackberry aromas and some bitter chocolate. Excellent balance of fruit. generous velvety tannins and lively acidity on the rich palate. Long. clean and supple finish. Drink or hold.
