Château Magondeau 2009 Beau Site

Merlot (Fronsac)

Deep black core with a dark raspberry rim. The nose is resolutely mineral with pencil lead and hot tar accents. The palate centers around fig and black currant notes spiked with pomegranate. Freshly turned earth takes center stage on the palate with unrestrained minerality. Fairly tame tannins and moderate acidity provide the structure that leads to a moderate finish. Drink now to 2014 or 2015.
