Description

Closed black cherry fruits on the nose, very little generosity on display at this stage although there is a subdued sense of power, clear tannic hold. They purposely reduced their extraction time at Fiuezal this year, but the house style is still evident – firm and big, successful within that style, less lift than at some other Pessac estates, but the dark bristling fruit is obvious and there is excellent potential for ageing. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc.
