...the 2015 Fontesteau has a generous bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and sous bois scents that are nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, quite fine tannin, plenty of edgy red fruit and impressive delineation on the finish that shows focus and length. This is recommended. Bravo...

Lovely, lean and elegant style. Decidedly old school Bordeaux on a budget.

2015 vintage. All show and no tell. Very little nose, mid-palate or finish. Framework and structure of the house are readily evident but that’s about it. Big mouthfeel without any semi-nuanced backup. $20 retail.

Restrained and tight fisted. Very old school Bordeaux. Recommended as a good example of the style and vintage thought not a super star.
