Tasting Notes
Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, an inviting, multi-faceted bouquet with delicate blackberry and liquorice, fine wild berries, a touch of fine oak and tangerine zest. The palate is complex, spicy, and full-bodied with supporting tannins, ripe plum fruit, mineral and persistent with some nougat on the saline, spicy finish. A powerful food wine with the potential for further ageing. A classic, great Clos Fourtet.
