reviews

Jancis Robinson 16/20

58% Merlot, 38.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc; 28% new oak. Barrel sample. Black core with purple rim. Not much on the nose but some subtle stony black fruits, a touch smoky/charry. Severe in its structure but nicely fresh, the fruit all tied up in the tannins at the moment. Rather drying on the finish though. (JH) 13.57% Drink 2024-2030


Parker 86-88

Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Fourcas-Hosten leaps from the glass with notions of raspberry preserves and freshly crushed blackcurrants with hints of fallen leaves, dried herbs and chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with a firm, grainy texture and just enough freshness, finishing on a peppery note.
