Critics Ratings

‘Mid to dark crimson. Light nose suggests grapes were a little less ripe than some 2010 Médocs; there’s a tiny suggestion of greenness. But on the palate it’s sweet and flattering – and almost ready to enjoy. Lightly inky finish after all that sweet fruit.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Mar 2015)

‘This is a lovely Fourcas-Borie. It has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, briary, cedar and black olive that is endearing. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, gently gripping tannins. Firm structure, decent acidity and some lovely tarry fruit on the finish. Recommended.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Jan 2014)

‘The 2010 is 75% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, producing one of the best Listracs I have tasted in many a year. A sleeper of the vintage, this dense ruby/purple-colored wine is opulent, round and consumer-friendly, with plenty of incense, red and black fruits, medium to full body, and a lusciousness that is very endearing. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.’ – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Feb 2013)

‘Silky and refined, with lovely incense and singed balsam wood notes weaving through the core of steeped damson plum and dark cherry fruit. A lingering sanguine hint shows on the finish. Not big, but offers lovely mouthfeel and pretty aromas. Drink now through 2019.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100
