A sleeper of the vintage, the dark ruby/purple-colored 2012 Fonbel offers up sweet aromas of mulberries, raspberries, forest floor and loamy soil. Medium-bodied with abundant fruit, glycerin and length, it should drink well for a decade. Score: 87 - 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2023 26 April 2013 |

This shows loads of fruit on the finish with dark chocolate and blueberries. Full and dense yet very long and structured. A beauty. Impressive. Close to the 2010. Maybe the same quality level? Score: 90 - 91 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 21 April 2013 |
