Tasting notes
This Chateau de Fieuzal 2008 has a fresh, fragrant nose with touches of rose petal inflecting the fresh raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. Good definition here. The palate is medium-bodied with a savoury entry, the tannins just a little furry and ill-defined at the moment, but there is great depth with a lovely meat finish (as if there is more Cabernet Franc in the wine.) A little brutish at the moment but it should mellow with 4-5 years bottle age. 90+/100 (06.2011) - robertparker.com
