Château De Fesles – 2011 – Bonnezeaux

Medium deep golden colour, still with a very fine brightness. Beautiful intensity. With some development here, complexity as well. Obviously a high ripeness, with botrytis. We have notes of honey here, saffron, luscious yellow fruit, honey glazed apricot and yellow plum. Then with some fine hints of tobacco and fine spices. Really intense with a marvellous purity. Excellent structure here. Full-bodied with a good extract. It is a wine with a high degree of sweetness, but well underlined by very bright acidity. Good extract. Tropical yellow fruit, honeyed, but beautiful. Fine spiciness on the finish. Really long with layers of luscious fruit. It drinks beautifully right now, today but it is certainly a wine that should have the potential to go on for 15, 20 or 25 more years.
