Château de Fontenelles - Notre Dame 2012
Cherry red, nice intensity.
In the nose red fruit, cuberdons, black fruit like black berries, cassis, spices, but quite strangely also lots of vegetal flavours like buxus.
Starts smoothly, has lots of accids, has lots of tanninnes that are still drying the mouth though not green/astringent. It's a pitty of the alcohol kick; maybe because the wine lacks a bit body and material. Short finish, doesn't last long in mouth. Though a good flavours bouquet, this wine falls a bit short on a alcohol kick and a short finish. 3/5
