This wine comes from one of a group of wineries with vines in the small area north of Listrac called Le Fourcas. It's packed with red fruits and juicy acidity. The dominant Merlot gives a bold, rich texture backed up by the more structured Cabernets. It will develop quickly and be ready from 2017.

This has never been one of my favorites, although in great vintages where ripeness is easily obtained, it can be a useful wine. The 2012 seems to be reasonably successful for the vintage. It is not too austere, its tannins are fairly ripe, and the wine is mid-weight with attractive notes of black and red currant fruit, spice box and earth Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Some berry and stone character with hints of clay. Medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Pleasant and lively if a bit austere Drink or hold.

Mid cherry red. Lovely cherry fragrance too. Cool and silky. Relatively lightweight but fine and gentle on the palate. Pretty and elegant. The producer was worried that this was a lighter-tasting sample than the rest and the second bottle was indeed firmer and richer. Bravo. (JH) 2018-2025

Souple, mûr, échantillon un peu évolué et amolli, se dégustant moins précis à ce stade que ses pairs. a regoûter dans six mois.

Dark purple. Sweet then savoury on the nose. Good freshness. Very plush texture and wonderful work to make this as engaging as possible but it all rather falls away towards the finish. Shame… Greenness and meanness assert themselves towards the end.
