My earlier opinion has been shown to be completely wrong. That bottle was faulty and I am sorry that I failed to appreciate that point. This ( my last) bottle is really good for a 2007. Not flashy but very pleasant. I enjoy Castillon wines more and more, and they have a softness that Fronsac lacks. An appellation for the wise purchaser: still good value.

Remarkably unpleasant vegetal wine. Hopefully just going through a phase, and I hope that my remaining bottles will perform better! It is NOT past it, just horrid...

Leather, cigar box, barn and really a wet sock but pleasantly accepted. A well nurtured traditional wine - a heavy weight. Excellent with rack of lamb.

Blueberries, currants and jam. Coffee and leather overtones. Mouth watering and elegant.
