Always excellent, occasionally outstanding, this over-achieving Fronsac is consistently well-made regardless of vintage conditions. The 2011 possesses a dense ruby/purple color, floral, blueberry and black raspberry notes, a hint of crushed rock, medium body, good acidity, sweet tannin and a well-endowed finish. It builds incrementally, and should be even better with 1-2 years of bottle age. A sleeper of the vintage, it should last 10-15 years, possibly longer. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
