This is an amazing performance for Fombrauge in such a challenging vintage. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet, concentrated fruit as well as an espresso roast-scented bouquet displaying notions of chocolate, black cherry liqueur, and smoke. Drink this medium to full-bodied, luscious 2002 over the next 10-12 years. A blend of 71% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is unquestionably a sleeper of the vintage.

Under the control of Bernard Magrez, this has become the largest of the Saint-Emilion grand cru vineyards. The wines are in a modern, dense style, with power-packed fruit, high extract and huge, solid tannins. For a 2002, this is a big wine.——R.V.(6/1/2005)—— 88
