The 2019 Clos Fourtet has a stubborn and backward bouquet with sultry black fruit, quite tertiary in style, antique bureau and woodbines. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent blackberry and blueberry fruit, maybe just a little cloying compared to its peers despite the velvety and caressing finish. One for those who like modern Saint-Émilion but it needs serious cellaring time. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2023)

Sipping Fine Wine
Blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon & 3% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruit, smoke and floral notes. On the palate flavors of dark cherries, berries and licorice with herbs and floral tones. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao and earthy mineral character. Nice!
