Clos Fourtet Vintage:2014 refined and gorgeously delineated flavorsThe 2015 Clos Fourtet has a sensual, warm bouquet with chestnut and smoke tinged red fruit, well defined and more understated than its peers. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, elegant and refined, silky and smooth in texture with beautifully poised red cherry and cranberry notes toward the finish. A tang of tobacco lingers on the aftertaste. Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
