Very smooth wine that goes down easily. When standing on its own it doesn’t have much to show, but it sweetness and light body. Once you pair it with some greasy pairings it comes to life and becomes a bit more bitter and lingers longer. Has faint licorice notes. Also has some spicy, smokey character.

Chateau Fontana 2016 is excellent value for quality. Medium body. Deep crimson. Good terroir. Some fruit, particularly prune. A bit musty, in a good way. All around nice Bordeaux.
