Tasting notes for Château de Fonsalette Fonsalette 1989
To the eye: Garnet robe with brick-red hues, of silky density and a brilliance subtly veiled by time.
On the nose: Aromas of candied prune and red berry compote intertwine with notes of toasted cinnamon, fresh black pepper and a saline touch reminiscent of damp undergrowth.
On the palate: Velvety texture, silky yet still present tannins, lively acidity carrying a chalky minerality and a long finish, where soft spices and earthy nuances intertwine.
Serve at 16-18°C in a Burgundy glass to release its full complexity.
