Le Defi de Fontenil 2005

FranceBig black cherry, plum, spicy, coffee, orange vanilla, Christmas pudding nose with a bit of tobacco and cedar. Rich, ripe, bright and fresh with very peppery, spicy, orange peel, coffee, mocha, black raspberry and plum flavours. Warm, elegant, fresh finish but long and intense. Excellent fruit will need 5-7 years to round out the tannins. (Barrel sample).Tasted: 20 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
