A unique blend of 65% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Carmenère, the 2024 Château De Fonbel sports a medium ruby hue as well as spicy, complex notes of red fruits, sappy green herbs, rose, and flowers. It's nicely textured, medium-bodied, has a juicy, lively, very elegant profile, slightly elevated acidity, and a good finish. It will be a complex, elegant, nicely balanced 2024 that will need a few years of bottle age.
