    Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-90)

    Three compnents tasted from barrel. Cinsault: Perfumed strawberry, smoke and game aroma. Intensely flavored, ripe and firm, with good acidity and finesse for '97. Grenache: Deeper red. Spicy cherry aroma. Fairly large-scaled but juicy. Plenty of palate presence. Another sample of grenache, at 15% alcohol: Riper red fruit, smoke and pepper aromas. Fatter and sweeter. Bigger tannic structure but less finesse. Should make a very rich Côtes du Rhône.

    The 2005 Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone is a blockbuster. This blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, and 15% Syrah has a dark ruby/purple color and a beautifully structured style with notes of black truffle, licorice, black currant, and sweet cherry intermixed with some crushed rock and flowers. The wine is beautifully broad, savory, and exceptionally well-delineated and focused. This is a magnificent wine that should be at its best between 2010 and 2025.

    The 2005 Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone is a blockbuster. This blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, and 15% Syrah has a dark ruby/purple color and a beautifully structured style with notes of black truffle, licorice, black currant, and sweet cherry intermixed with some crushed rock and flowers. The wine is beautifully broad, savory, and exceptionally well-delineated and focused. This is a magnificent wine that should be at its best between 2010 and 2025.

    Light red. Sexy, fragrant scents of Moroccan spices, dried strawberry, raspberry and minerals, plus a whiff of cherry skin. Very sexy, sweet red fruit flavors are perked up by blood orange and smoky minerals, with dusty tannins adding support. Impressively pure and focused wine with excellent finishing clarity and a whiplash of cinnamon. This reminded me of a high-end Pernand-Vergelesses.
