Rating: 5.0/5
Chateau Fullerton exudes a youthful, vibrant appearance, with a clear ruby colour and medium colour intensity. On the nose, pronounced aromas of fresh raspberry, fennel, and baked fruits greet the senses. With the palate, the fine-grained texture showcases medium tannin, medium plus acidity, and medium alcohol, complemented by dry sweetness and a medium flavour intensity. Flavours of raspberry, red currant, and tomato leaf unfold on the palate.
