Parker about Château Fontenil 2004
Although more austere than one expects from the home estate of Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2004 Fontenil is a concentrated effort displaying striking minerality along with notes of black currant and blackberry fruit, chunky tannin, medium body, and excellent concentration as well as purity.
