92+ Another wine from Bernard Magrez, his 2005 Fombrauge (77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon from the largest vineyard in St.-Emilion) is special. More tannic and backward than usual, and much more masculine and bigger-boned, this is a full-bodied, textured and rich wine that should hit its prime in another 4-5 years, and last 15-20. It is a stunning effort from Fombrauge that has still not attained full maturity. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Dark in color with intense aromas of dried mushroom and very ripe fruit. Almost raisiny. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and lots of ripe fruit. Turns meaty and raisiny. A very mature style but one that I like a lot. This is always a wonderful value. Best after 2013. 13000 cases made. –JS
