Very savory, dirt, tobacco, mushrooms. Nice structure too, just want a bit more fruit.

Excellent second label from Château Fonplegade! Earthly, plum, spice, with licorice, coffee, tea, and tobacco notes.... I love how this wine is intense but still fairly elegant. The tannins are perfect enough to still be velvety on the palate while still delivering a nice long finish. This is the wine that brings me back to St. Emilion walking the cobblestone streets and the magnificent view from Château du Roy. Oh how I miss France...... Santè!

First time I drank it, I thought it was really good, but this time I lowered the rating from 9 to 7.5 as it now tastes very sweet and thick.
