小編 Jeffrey 實試報告 (2011年份酒)：
想說的是其實 Michel 的酒不一定是典型的爆果爆桶，陳熟後也可以很平衡～就好像這款一樣，成熟的黑果是有的，但 40% 新桶帶出的反而是溫和的咖啡和舊傢俬桶香～酒齡帶出的陳熟香亦是主角之一：溫和的豆豉、臘肉咸香，Fronsac 少許的石墨礦物感都有，還有些甘草～入口的綿綿的單寧也是 Michel 的特色，量多但很柔順很幼細～酒體中高，但也反比一般 Merlot 酸度更多一點更平衡，還有 10 秒左右的收尾～是很工整複雜的成熟波爾多！
🏅 James Suckling 90分 (2011年)：
A juicy, fruity wine with blackberry and mineral character. Full and rich. Needs two to three years to soften. Better in 2016.
🏅 Robert Parker 89+分 (2011年)：
From the husband and wife oenologist team of Michel and Dany Rolland, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits dark black raspberry and graphite notes intermixed with hints of licorice and blueberries, medium to full-bodied flavors, excellent depth and texture, sweet tannin and adequate acidity. As always, Fontenil is one of the stars of Fronsac in 2011 with the winemaking skills of its owners well-presented. This beautifully crafted, high-class effort needs another year or so to resolve its tannins, and it can be drunk over the next 10+ years.
🏅 James Suckling 93分 (2015年)：
Aromas of impeccably ripe cassis, blackberries and dark cherries. Very fruit-focused nose. The palate has a suave array of layered tannins that carry dark-cherry and blueberry flavors. Really pure wine. Try from 2020.
🏅 Vinous 92分 (2015年)：
The 2015 Fontenil is gorgeous. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, crème de cassis, licorice and spice fill out the wine's plush, resonant frame effortlessly. Racy and yet also wonderfully nuanced, the 2015 is a superb Fontenil. Drink it over the next decade. Tasted two times.
🏅 Robert Parker 91分 (2015年)：
The 2015 Fontenil is deep garnet-purple in color with crushed red and black currants, black cherries and mulberries notions with an earthy undercurrent of underbrush and truffles plus a waft of tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate has bags of purity and minerality with a firm frame of chewy tannins and lively acid line lifting the youthful fruit to a long finish. This should age beautifully!
🏅 Wine Spectator 91分 (2015年)：
Solid, with a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit that melds nicely with singed alder and smoldering tobacco notes. Light chalky minerality hangs on the finish, giving this cut and length. Merlot. Drink now through 2025. 3,516 cases made, 500 cases imported.
🏅 Jeb Dunnuck 91分 (2015年)：
From the home estate of Michel and Dany Rolland, the 2015 Fontenil is an elegant, fresh, medium-bodied Fronsac excelling on its purity and finesse. Displaying beautiful notes of black fruits, plums, leafy herbs and hints of lead pencil, it has integrated acidity, ripe, moderate tannin, and an impeccably balanced profile that will keep it drinking nicely for at least a decade.
