Description
Robert Parker: After tasting it three times from bottle, I am
convinced this prodigious wine is one of the greatest young
Bordeaux I have ever tasted. Inky blue/purple with notes of
camphor, forest floor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherries,
licorice, the wine has stunning aromatics, unctuous texture and an
almost inky concentration, but without any hard edges. With
considerable tannin and just enough acidity to provide definition,
this wine transcends even its premier grand cru classe terroir. It
is certainly the finest Clos Fourtet ever produced. Give it 5-7
years of cellaring to allow some of its baby fat to fall away.
There is certainly enough structure underneath to keep for 30-50
years. Bravo!
