Château Fonplégade Saint Emilion 2000
An intense, full bodied and well defined wine with a dramatically long finish, Château Fonplégade possesses deep purple color, sweet notes of red and black fruits and a hint of both crushed rock and new oak. Wine Advocate The 2000 is the finest Fonplegade in nearly two decades. Thankfully, there are 4,000 cases of this structured, deep, concentrated wine, with high levels of tannin, but equally impressive levels of extract and richness. Medium to full-bodied, with plum, black currant, and cherry fruit intermixed with mineral and earth, this pure, rich St.-Emilion is an admirable achievement. It is a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. Score: 89. —Robert Parker, April 2003. |
