Chateau Fonplegade 2010 St Emilion

Robert Parker 92-94 points

"The full-bodied, powerful 2010 reveals intense, concentrated red and black fruit characteristics, undeniable minerality, a perfumed style and authoritative flavors that linger on the palate. The tannins are noticeable, so this wine will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring and keep for at least two decades."

Wine Spectator 88-91 points

"Shows overt toast now, with more spice, fruitcake and licorice aromatics and flavors, backed by flesh plum and currant confiture notes. There's good density, and assuming the toast assimilates, this should be solid."
