Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Clos Fourtet opens with wonderfully pure, intense black fruit notes of ripe blackberries, crushed black cherries and warm plums, leading to suggestions of pencil lead, clove oil, black olives and aniseed. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of muscular black fruits, delivering compelling vivacity and tension, framed by velvety tannins and finishing epically long and perfumed. The intense, bright, energetic fruit on this 2018 has been impeccably preserved. Stunning!
Blend : 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc.
