Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2020, Robert Parker, Aug 2014

One would think Fombrauge was a wine to drink in its first decade of life, but this 2003 proves otherwise. Lots of cedar, fruitcake, spice box, black currant and cherry notes jump from the glass of this complex, medium-bodied, silky smooth, fully mature, delicious St.-Emilion. It is a testament to the vision of Bernard Magrez and his consulting oenologist, Michel Rolland. It is a sleeper of the vintage that should last another 4-6 years.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2005-2011, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Bright crimson, quite a sweet nose. Light touch. Easy. Mid weight. Pretty. Good balance though pretty much fully mature and not very subtle. Precocious. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2006

Good red-ruby. Very sexy aromas of raspberry, cherry, truffle, roasted meat, mocha, chocolate and tobacco. Broad and spicy, with impressive flavor intensity and definition for the vintage. Finishes with building tannins and noticeable spicy, charred oak. Serious juice.
