Reviews

James Suckling 95

A gorgeous and layered red showcasing blackberry, blueberry and mineral aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied and polished with impressive tannins. Shows the flamboyance of the estate. Give it time to come around. From organic grapes.

Wine Advocate 92+

Made almost exclusively from Merlot with just a 5% splash of Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Fonplegade is deep garnet-purple in color with a very pretty nose of red and black currants, wild thyme, charcuterie, earth and floral notes plus a fair amount of cedary notions in the background. Medium to full-bodied, it's wonderfully elegant, fine and fresh in the mouth with arresting purity and depth, finishing just a little woody. Give it 3-5 years for the oak to marry and the fruit to come to the forefront, and drink it over the next 10 to 15+ years.

Wine Spectator 92

This is richly layered, offering boysenberry, fig and cassis flavors that stay fresh and focused, with fine chalky minerality buried throughout. Shows a toasted edge, revealing hints of espresso and tobacco, but they are easily matched by the fruit. This will age nicely.
