Fontenil 2000 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Fronsac appellation of Bordeaux. Château Fontenil is owned and operated by the illustrious duo of oenologists, Dany and Michel Rolland. "May be the finest yet produced by Michel Rolland and his wife Dany. The exquisite purity of the black raspberry fruit intermixed with liquorice and vanillin is impressive. Moreover, this saturated purple-coloured wine is full, rich, and precise. Look for it to drink well for 10-15 years… a sleeper of the vintage." Robert Parker, 2001

The outstanding 2000 is the finest example I have yet tasted from this estate. The wine, a sleeper of the vintage, has a dense ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis intermixed with raspberries, wet stones, and flowers, and a hint of subtle oak. It is elegant yet powerful, medium to full-bodied, yet light on its feet. It is a beauty, with some moderate tannin to shed in the finish. Anticipated maturity. 2005-2015. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Good medium ruby. Superripe aromas of black cherry, currant and licorice. Sweet and ripe, with a rather pliant texture and moderate nuance. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and good persistence.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2001
