Château Fonbadet 2019 – Pauillac

The nose is racy and offers power in control/elegance as well as some airiness in its grain. There are notes of wild blackberry, fresh wild red berries and a hint of racy minerality combined with hints of lily, pepper and a subtle hint of almost saffron (in its flowery side) and cardamom. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, smoothness, freshness, minerality and a tangy texture. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of crunchy red berries, violet and slightly blackberry combined with hints of lily, racy gravel/minerality, toasted almond as well as fine nuances of blond tobacco, cardamom, pulpy/juicy violet plum and sweet spices. Sweetness, volume and richness.
