Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

The harvest ran from October 9-20, and the 2008 Clos Fourtet tips the scales at 13% natural alcohol. A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, it exhibits an inky/purple color along with notes of pen ink, blackberry liqueur, and espresso roast, sensationally concentrated layers of pure black fruits, a full-bodied, powerful style, crisp acids, dense fruit, and ripe tannins. This brilliant 2008 may merit an even higher score after additional time in wood. It will evolve for 20-25 years.

Winespectator (90)

Juicy, with a tasty mix of dark plum, crushed fig and blackberry fruit, which is then followed by licorice, black tea and maduro tobacco. The long finish lets it all hang together nicely.
