Note di degustazione
Moderately saturated dark red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice, menthol and mocha on the nose, along with some rustic leather and game nuances. Supple and on the simple side but agreeable, with moderate depth to the cherry, redcurrant, leather and menthol flavors. Finishes a bit dry, with a whiff of adhesive tape. I'd drink this in the next few years before it loses its fruit.

From the regisseur of Clos Fourtet, Tony Ballu, this is a limited-production wine made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. I had expected it to show a lot better, but what can one say? It is certainly a powerful wine at 14.5% alcohol, and yields were tiny at 16 hectoliters per hectare, but the wine seems to have average intensity, some nice ripe cherry, underbrush and loamy soil notes, but not a lot of intensity, concentration or persistence on the palate. Sadly, I rated this wine considerably higher from barrel, which does not appear to have been accurate. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
