The 2010 Clos Fourtet was picked between September 30 and October 21 at 34 hl/ha. This has an impressive nose: an enticing melange of red and black fruit, crushed stone, wilted rose petals and tobacco emanating from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is medium-bodied but with real depth, its power counterbalanced by the keen line of acidity. Touches of spicebox, white pepper and mineral define the precise finish that lingers in the mouth. Outstanding. Tasted at the Clos Fourtet vertical in April 2023.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2050
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Clos Fourtet is a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal notes of baked black cherries, blueberry preserves and dried mulberries plus hints of cast-iron pan, fertile loam and cigar box with a waft of sandalwood. Full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and compelling freshness supporting the muscular fruit, finishing long and mineral laced. Very impressive!
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2048
