CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2021 Fombrauge, bottled last May, has a sweet nose, with tinned prune and Medjool dates infusing the slightly smudged red fruit and just a touch of warmth coming through. The palate is medium-bodied, lightly spiced on the entry with white pepper and clove. The tannins do feel a little dry, particularly on the second half, which has a smooth texture but comes across a little monotone compared to other recent vintages. This kind of "stumbles" over the finish line. Tasted twice.
