2000 Chateau Fombrauge

[winoweenie]

This was my 1st experience with this St. Emilion Grand Cru but sure as the blazes wont be my last.A blend of 66% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauv, and 15% Cab Franc this brite ruby jewel is loaded...Floral scents from violets to roses, sweet spices, leather, and a wee bit of the old sod all jump from the gklass. All come over on the palate along with dark chocolate and the very soft but strong tannins. Lovely entry, medium center and a solid 4&1/2 lapper finish. Still needs another 3-5 to finish but it is scrumptios rite now. 91/95 18 on futures. 13% alc. WW
