Red wine
Clos Fourtet 2009
RRP £187
A dark, meaty, racy bouquet, bursting with ripe, blue-fruited energy. On the palate, this is slightly murkier and less defined than the nose promised. It feels tired, lacking freshness, with noticeable alcohol burn on the finish. Perhaps worth opening sooner rather than later.
