Wow, what a beauty. Decanted for 2 hours, intensely aromatic, precise and energetic showing black raspberries, candied red cherries, flowers, hints of orange peel and packed with minerals. Finishes with exceptional length. The tannins are present and firm but the wine’s superb balance along with the combination of Fourrier’s style and the ripe vintage make it in a wonderful place now and with a certainty to improve with age. — 14 days ago

Opened up much faster than the 15 village. Explosive floral and red fruits on the nose, velvety tannins and right amount of acidity. Faded a little bit after 2-3 hours. — a month ago

Colour like strawberry coulis or like a skin contact but in Rosé form.
Seems pretty straight forward on the nose but with a bit of time in the glass (needs a fourrier shake or decantation) starts to show watermelon jolly ranchers and jalapeño nose, confected but in a natural way (if that’s possible!) stewed raspberries and strawberry jelly. Red liquorice laces and summer pudding and wet rose petal floral notes. fun, vibrant and outgoing in character.
Palate is a little more one dimensional but has some very attractive, pure, ripe strained strawberry fruit, balanced, soft acidity and that feeling that there’s been a little bit of skin contact giving very gentle tannins and a pleasant purity of slightly under ripe strawberry character on the finish. — a month ago

Underwhelming bottle from one of my fav producers. Makes me wonder if these wines age well? 2008 showed more like 1998 - color has faded, nose is evolved and the palate was eluding. — 18 days ago

This had lots of dense sappy dark cherry, berry fruits, earthy with good spice, crushed rock & violet. Full bodied & firm structure that needs a few more years. — 2 months ago

Young but delicious! Red fruits and a bit of something hard to pick out ... a bit of influence from stems maybe? — 24 days ago
