  The Wine Advocate
  "This biodynamically run estate produced a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc in 2005. A strong showing for Fonroque, this super-concentrated, opaque ruby/purple wine is still remarkably youthful. It offers notes of wet rocks intermixed with blackcurrant, black cherry and blackberry fruit. Some licorice, truffle and earth are also present in this full-bodied, stunningly rich wine, which may be the best Fonroque I have ever tasted from producer Alain Moueix. Don’t touch it for another 4-5 years and drink it over the following 20."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Already fun to drink, this blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc produced a medium bodied, earthy, spicy, black cherry and raspberry filled wine that ends with an elegant, red berry finish."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "Under the control of Alain Moueix, this 44-acre vineyard has produced an impressive wine, powered with sweet black currants and huge, dark, solid tannins."

  Wine Spectator
  "Blackberry, mineral and licorice aromas follow through to a medium-to-full body, with a silky-textured palate and a fresh, racy finish. Balanced and pretty. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2011. 6,390 cases made."
