FRANCE : BORDEAUX : FRONSAC Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec MED-FULL-BODIED, BLACK FRUIT, RED CHERRY, EARTH, FLORAL, ANISE, CEDAR, NEUTRAL OAK If you struggle to understand the cosmic nature of Biodynamic farming (like we do) Paul Barre is a devout disciple and speaks about it beautifully: “If the earth is the support for the expression of the plant, the creative forces of this plant come from the outside…the cosmos. Biodynamic agriculture argues for the plant at the heart of the universe.” Still nothing? Well, at least his wine speaks for itself — ‘Aux Caudelayres’ is complex and elegant, with plush fruit and wild herbs. Drink now with a good steak. ECOLOGY : Organic, Certified Biodynamic PAIR WITH : Hanger Steak with Duck Fat Potatoes

Lovely, ripe nose of cassis, huckleberry, tobacco, plum and spice. Lovey minerality. Very fine and refined. Palate is juicy and structured with lovely purity, length and balance. Really showing well. Love Fronsac when it is on. Outstanding length. Nose is bright and high toned. Such a lively bottle of Bordeaux. Great fruit soak on the finish and terrific mineral infused texture. 9.3. Maybe 9.4 with air. Much better than my last bottle. Nose has cocoa now. Big plum. Classic right bank satellite vibes. Unreal juiciness. Tangy cassis.

Lovely nose. Love Fronsac when it’s good. Nose is clean and plummy with a hint of grilled deez nuts. Tree bark and old twigs. Some older library books as well. Kiss of pungent cassis comes through. The plum and cocoa elements are delightful. What a a palate. Juicy, refined and toothsome and full of dynamic and energetic red fruits that linger forever. Awesome purity and density. So clean. Really velvety tannins. So so attractive and what one wants. This has substantial tannins but they are ripe and fresh and will carry this wine for 10+ years at least. Terrific. After air the nose gets really going. Beautiful damson raspberries. Such lovey classic Bordeaux earthy character. Really complex after air as well and so so well integrated. Almost a 9.3.
