Dec 27th, 2020Vintage 2016 / Wine for the cellar, lots of potential. Nice red fruit, sultry touch. Good concentration. I like Fronsac because it can turn to a little wonder after cellaring.

Cool wine, definitely a masculine take on Merlot. Earthy, with a brambly edge, bitter chocolate and toast. There’s a slight volatility which gives it some lift. Tannins are of the burly sort. Needs air. Comes off as old school, nice cold weather wine
