2015 Clos Fourtet St. Émilion Grand Cru Bordeaux France Wine Tasting Note

Deep in color, the wine is all about the levelsof depth in the dark, cherry and plummy fruits. There is a lot of sweetness along with the balancing of acidity that gives everything life. The wine is full bodied, concentrated, supple, and sensuous. There is a purity in the fruits and a silkyness in the texture with a finish that sticks with you for close to 50 seconds.

Inky in color, the wine has an incredible depth of flavor. Dark, black cherry fruits are all over the place. Add licorice, cocoa, truffle, smoke, boysenberry and crushed stone and get the picture, as far as the perfume goes. However, it is the richness, opulent and even decadent palate presence that steals the show. This is almost at the same level as the stellar 2005. And who knows, with a decade in the cellar, the 2015 could be the better wine!
