2015 Fourcas Dupre (Listrac)

The 2015 Fourcas-Dupre offers plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit on the nose, a touch of brine here, a subtle marine influence that lends it complexity and personality. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy opening, a melange of red and black fruit, taut and quite linear with plenty of freshness and tension on the finish. This is a well-crafted Listrac that punches well above my expectations. Hopefully it can retain this level after its élevage - one to keep an eye on. 91-93 points

Mid crimson. Real lift and sap on the nose. A tiny bit simple in terms of fruit on the palate. An attractive early maturer. 16.5 pts
