Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Leather, earth, and animal fur characteristics emerge from the dark ruby-colored 2001 Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone. This spicy, medium-bodied 2001 exhibits notes of roasted herbs intermixed with beef blood. Firm tannin in the finish suggests 2-3 years of cellaring is warranted. Tasted 2004.
Blend : Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.
