Chateau Fourcas Dupre, Listrac-Medoc, France 2016 Jean Baptiste Adam clear honey and freshly bakedThis is tasting beautiful this year, very enjoyable fruit extraction that manages to be intense but not overdone. The tannins are firm but could perhaps be a little more pliable to fully open up the structure of the wine. Classic, with lovely menthol notes and a good example of the work being done in Listrac right now. Planted to 44% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest Cabernet Franc and a splash of Petit Verdot. 91 Pts Decanter
