Climate change is doing good things for #Fronsac ripe velvet tannins.

Nice balance and structure. Red plum, and strawberry with a backdrop of liquorice and pencil.

Blackberry bramble. Some Asian spice. Nice finish.

A Bordeaux light on tanniness and vanilla, but equally complex in flavor. Distinct taste of red fruits, think plums, hawthorns, plums, and maybe a bit of crisp red cherries. Low to medium acidity and medium bodied. Lighter on color than other Bordeaux ive had. So overall an easy to approach Bordeaux

I liked everything about the palate well enough until I hit the finish, then I just got an unpleasant stewed fruit/tomato note that just didn't sit right. Could just be my bottle, not entirely sure
