Clos Fourtet

The wine is dense, full, rich, unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with its extravagant glycerin, fruit and extract covering the wine's somewhat tannic structure.

98 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '05 Ch Clos Fourtet boasts an exceptional perfume of acacia flowers, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, graphite, scorched earth, and background oak; great concentration.

Quite impressive; deep, saturated purple and violet color; full bodied and powerful; ripe tannins; layers of cassis fruit; attractive smoky character with great length and elegance on the finish.

93 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '03 Clos Fourtet is superclean with blackberry, violets, dark chocolate and hints of oak; full-bodied, with layers of ripe tannins and a long, long finish; gorgeous.

92-94 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. Lots of floral and berry character here; the '00 Clos Fourtet is full-bodied, with super, well-integrated tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes.
