Château Fonplégade St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2009

This is luscious, packed with damson and black cherry fruit, freshly cut sage and rosemary herbs, lilting freshness. Plenty of tannic grip, with a velvety texture, with added slate and pumice stone texture reflecting the clay limestone soils. An excellent wine, with plenty of life ahead, great stuff. A buy. 50% new oak for ageing, Stephen and Denise Adams owners.
