A smooth, dry wine with a dried cherry and dried red fruit nose, accompanied by a long finish.

A balanced blend of blackberry and black forest berries, with a zesty and clear structure. The perfume is lively and engaging, with a gentle dryness that adds richness to the wine. The tannins are lively and well-balanced, with a licorice and earthy note that adds complexity. The follow through is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste that invites further exploration. The wine is a top notch example of a well-balanced and polished blackberry wine.

Voss Experts4.8

This well-structured, full-bodied Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) has a deep ruby hue and a nose of dark red fruits, blackberry, and cassis. On the palate, it is concentrated yet balanced, with a core of ripe cherry and plum flavors, hints of forest floor and licorice, and a long, velvety finish. Enjoy its complexity and structure now, but it will also benefit from further aging.
