Chateau Fonroque Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2016 Review

On the heavier side of the right bank style, full bodied on the nose, and medium-bodied on the palate. There is a high alcohol level here and it’s what hits you first, followed by fresh soil and blackberry fruit. As it opens a plum aroma sneaks out. What might be really fun is sipping this with a haut burger.
