Château Clos Fourtet 2021 and I suspect the pHSize 750mL Appellation: Saint Emilion 96 99 Wine Spectator Dark plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with tobacco and chalk notes, while the fleshy grip slowly builds through the finish. This is seriously long, and though the fruit is gorgeous, the minerality steals the show in the end. (4 2019) James Molesworth 93 DecanterA little high toned initially, the fruit is bright with good acidity but lacks a little density with slightly astringent tannins.
