Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Magrez Fombrauge 2014

Tasting

Nose
The nose charms with its aromatic richness, offering a fairly complete range of fleshy black fruits (crushed blackberry, blueberry, red plum).

Palate
The palate confirms the nose – through the presence of a crunchy, fleshy black cherry – and displays a beautiful fine-grained tannic structure, all with an impression of juiciness and wine weight. Beautiful balsamic cedar finish. The whole is generous, well-built, and fresh.
