Vintage 2019 | Solid red Fronsac that probably develops in the coming 3-5 years into a beauty | paired with a steak and salade

2019 vintage. It's definitely one of the best wines of Fronsac.

We had the 2019 on 2/17-18/26. An herbaceous bouquet with hints of tobacco. Tastes of blackberry, mocha, and oak. Medium bodied, Old World. Very good.
