Chateau Magrez Fombrauge Saint Emilion 2005
|
Good bright medium ruby. Very primary, reduced aromas of black cherry and new oak. Dense, sweet and full, with powerful fruit and excellent breadth. Very thick and concentrated wine, with liqueur-like dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors given shape by sound acidity. Finishes with substantial, slightly gritty tannins that build with aeration. Denser and more opulent than the regular Fombrauge cuvee but today the regular wine comes across as sweeter and less worked. This has stronger material for aging, though.

Aromas of blackberry, mineral, vanilla and milk chocolate follow through to a full body, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, caressing finish. Balanced, refined and harmonious. Best after 2011. 550 cases made. –JS
