Fonroque Size:12x750ml

Fonroque Size:12x750mlA rather lush, nicely toasty, modern style, with creamy layers of fig, blackberry and boysenberry fruit rolling through, while dark anise and espresso fill in on the finish. The acidity is there to enable this to round into form, but still not quite the range of the top examples. Best from 2013 through 2021. JM

Just very slightly austere

persistent and balanced if decidedly rustic finish

mouth coating

(Bitouzet has 2 parcels

It will age majestically

Ceylon tea and sandalwood notions with tar

Sweet and expansive on the gently tannic finish

The succulent

perfectly ripe and balanced nose where ripe stone fruit aromas such as peaches and mirabelles are displayed in the first moments along with some dashes of fresh lime or lemon juice on a lobster fished out of the Atlantic just a short while before

Flavors of strawberry

The wine sings with the characteristics of this vintage that will be remembered for the sunshine

This could therefore be considered a fresh if not cool vintage
