Château Fonbadet - Pauillac 2020 (750ml) Le Mesnil-sur-Oger

Château Fonbadet - Pauillac 2020 (750ml) Le Mesnil-sur-OgerRated 94 by Jeb Dunnuck A Pauillac that has been over delivering from some time now, the 2020 Chteau Fonbadet reveals a healthy ruby purple hue as well as textbook aromatics of blackcurrants, cassis, graphite, tobacco, and a kiss of background oak. Medium to full bodied on the palate, it's balanced, has the vintage's straight, focused style, and enough tannins to warrant 4 6 years of bottle age. It will keep for two decades.
