Château Clos Fourtet Saint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe 2018
Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage)
"Deep dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry, some liquorice, delicate nougat, and a hint of orange zest. The complex, tautly textured palate is mineral with fine acidity, ripe cherry notes and a saline finish with a touch of chocolate on the back palate. Still very young, this is currently somewhat unapproachable, having entered an initial dormant phase, this wine has enormous future potential and will benefit from further ageing." - Falstaff (97/100)
Wine Enthusiast
This impressive estate has produced another fine wine. Structured, powered by tannins as much as by great fruit, this wine is set for a long aging process. The fruit shows massive concentration, enhanced by succulent acidity and bolstered by those tannins that show so strongly. It's a wine for great patience, so wait to drink until 2027. - Roger Voss (97/100)
