On the nose, it seduces with a perfumed bouquet dominated by aromas of blackcurrant, which are harmoniously accompanied by notes of ripe fruit. On the palate, it reveals its full personality by offering a rich and balanced taste experience. The tannins, of remarkable finesse, offer a velvety sensation in the mouth, while a generous flesh unfolds in the middle of the tasting, bringing a feeling of fullness.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Mid crimson, not as dark as many in 2018. Gentle, lightly spiced dark-red fruit, nicely stony. A little bit of oak sweetness on the palate but mainly a gentle, rounded wine that is really quite approachable (as long as you drank it with food) even though it’s so young. A lightness of touch and more obvious freshness than in many 2018s, perhaps because the other components are relatively restrained.”16\/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, October 2020″Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Fourcas-Dupre opens a little shy with subtle black raspberry, redcurrant jelly and cassis scents followed by suggestions of garrigue, bay leaves and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, it has a solid line of chewy tannins tagged with compelling freshness sparking energy into the bright fruit, finishing mineral laced.”(89-90+\/100) points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, WINE ADVOCATE, April 2019″Dark ruby red colour with a purple hue. Layered nose blending some toasted and spicy oak elements with ripe wild berries, cassis and fine tobacco. Nice palate combining dense young fruit, vivid and ripe tannin, well-integrated oak notes adding a slight butterscotch creaminess, and a dense and long finish. Fine potential”92\/100 points, Andreas Larsson, TASTEDFood and wine pairing: Grilled shrimp skewers with quinoa and roasted vegetables.Chateau Fourcas Dupre, Listrac Medoc.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130131505334,"sku":"14120","price":6.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/chateaufourcasduprelistracmedo_14120_01_fa762953_65a6a5f3-18d9-4542-bff4-d422e0797e12.jpg?v=1779033405","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/chateaufourcasduprelistracmedoc2018-14120","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
