Very green tasting. Maybe the fruit couldn't ripen. Not very enjoyable, especially when the 2014 is next to the tasty 2016.

Chateau Fonroque Saint-emilion GCC 2010. 85% Merlot - 15% Cab Franc. Sharp acidity with lots of red fruit. The oak (40 % new) is well integrated. Nice finish.

Medium intense, developed aromas of rosé petals, violets, black cherry, and vanilla. Full bodied flavors of leather, plum, prune, cloves, and vanilla bean with a very long finish.
