Dark and intense ruby red at 13 years old, and kicks off with a fresh, fierce burst of cassis pastille, bilberry, liqourice, anis, toasted fennel seeds and slate. Totally delicious, muscular tannins, this builds slowly but surely, expanding through the palate, and has retained its austere side that was evident En Primeur and that might have been expected to have softened by now. Plenty of cocoa bean, tobacco, sandalwood and cigar box as it opens, deliciously confident. A Clos Fourtet that will power through the ages, right at the top of its game. 80% new oak.
