2010 Fonplégade, St-Emilion (1.5L)

Bid on this magnum of 2010 Fonplégade, St-Emilion (1.5L) (96JD, 94JS, 94RP, 93JA, 91WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "A true “Wow!” wine from the American Adam’s family, who acquired this estate a little over a decade ago, the 2010 Château Fonplegade is the normal blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc brought up in plenty of new barrels. Cassis, smoked earth, graphite, lots of damp earth and smoke all emerge from the full-bodied, concentrated, unctuous 2010 that has serious depth and richness, bright acidity, and building tannin. It's still an infant at this point but just packed with potential. Bravo!" (11/2017)
