Ch Fonbadet 2019

Pauillac

Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 91-93/100
The 2019 Fonbadet is racy and so inviting. Plush fruit and soft contours give the 2019 a fabulous sense of immediacy. An infusion of black cherry, plum, licorice, spice and lavender wraps around the palate as this sumptuous Pauillac shows off its alluring personality. There is so much to like here.

The Wine Advocate – 90-92+/100
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Fonbadet slowly unfurls to offer suggestions of Black Forest cake, mulberries and preserved plums with a core of blackcurrant cordial, cedar chest, pencil lead and clove oil. The palate bursts with vibrant black berry flavors accented with loads of savory nuances and backed by a solid structure of firm, grainy tannins, finishing with great length and freshness.

J. Suckling – 92-93/100
