Fenix de Jonata 2008 (750ml) Thermenregion Anticipated maturity: 2020-2060+Professional Reviews 93 points Wine Advocate, Review Date: 08 2011 The 2008 Fenix is 70% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Sweet dark berries, plums, licorice and leather are some of the notes that jump from the glass in this boisterous, round red. Harmonious and plush through to the finish, this shows the prevalence of Merlot in its juiciness, but with the tannic backbone of the other Bordeaux varieties. (AG) 93
