The 2013 De Fieuzal has an open, quite sensual bouquet with scents of black cherry, wild strawberry and wet stone, an attractive floral aspect developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, succulent in the mouth with good acidity, polished with a smooth, harmonious finish. This is commendable for the vintage, even if it is just missing a little personality.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the de Fieuzal Rouge has a deep, unusually opulent dark plum and blackcurrant nose with a veil of vanillary new oak. The palate is ripe and rounded on the entry, fat in the mouth but it loses delineation on the finish that feels furry and needs to develop more tension. Tasted April 2014.
