Magrez Fombrauge Rouge 2019 (750ML)

96-99 JD

I continue to love this wine, and the 2019 Château Magrez Fombrauge is one seriously good, opulent, super rich 2019 that does everything right. Loads of crème de cassis, blueberries, tobacco leaf, candied violets, and chocolate all soar from the glass. Deep, full-bodied, and just beautifully balanced on the palate, it's another stunner in the making. - Jeb Dunnuck

You don't pick up this wine without having some idea of the muscular beast that you are about to be faced with (bottle weight alone suggests it), so I don't think I am surprising anyone when I say that this is a rich, liquorice and cocoa-laced glass. It's got powerful but supple tannins, and a nuanced baked earth and damson-filled body. Tannins build up pretty quickly. Michel Rolland consultant. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040 - Jane Anson, Decanter
