blackberry and blueberry fruit

drought-driven growing season

warm bouquet with chestnut and smoke-tinged red fruit

and a lemon-pith note bringing refreshment to the finish

The palate is fresh on the entry with slightly coarse tannin

Clos Fourtet Vintage:2005 blackberry and blueberry fruitThe 2015 Clos Fourtet has a sensual, warm bouquet with chestnut and smoke tinged red fruit, well defined and more understated than its peers. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, elegant and refined, silky and smooth in texture with beautifully poised red cherry and cranberry notes toward the finish. A tang of tobacco lingers on the aftertaste. Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
