James Suckling

Plums, dark cherries, blueberries, cedar, amber, dried herbs and baking spices on the nose. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Structured, balanced and intense. It has a polished, rich core of dark and blue fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Wait for the oak spice to integrate. Drink from 2025.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of ripe cherries, licorice, crème de cassis, burning embers and loamy soil introduce the 2019 Fonplegade, a medium to full-bodied, muscular wine that's rich and powerful, reflecting its clay-rich soils. It's a fleshy, generous wine that represents a fine success in a more impactful style.

The nose is elegant, aromatic and offers power as well as intensity (finesse). It reveals notes of wild blackberry, pulpy / juicy cassis and small notes of crushed raspberry associated with touches of violet / lilac, juicy black plum as well as hints of black pepper, nutmeg, cocoa and discreet hints of incense. The palate is fruity, elegant, racy and offers juiciness, gourmandise, a fine acidulous frame, finesse, a fine tension as well as freshness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy cassis, pulpy / juicy raspberry and small notes of crunchy / acidulous red berries associated with hints of acidulous plum as well as hints of tonka beans, fresh blond tobacco and very slight hints of spices. Tannins are elegant and well-built. Good length.
