Chateau de Carlmagnus, Fronsac, France 2018 Selection Vieilles Vignes Just a hint of sweet

Just a hint of sweet fruit and wet earth

The Château Grand Pontet is beautiful

crushed rocks and blood orange build into the nervy

with a black cherry core that jumps from the glass

and violet aromas

Chateau de Carlmagnus, Fronsac, France 2018 Selection Vieilles Vignes Just a hint of sweetDeep garnet purple in color, the 2018 Carlmagnus gives pronounced notes of plum preserves, baked blueberries and mulberries with touches of mocha, licorice and tar. Full bodied and jam packed with opulent, expressive black and blue fruit, it has a firm, velvety frame and fantastic freshness, finishing long and layered. 94 Pts Robert Parker
