Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Clos Fourtet has a ripe, forward kirsch and iodine-scented bouquet, blueberries emerging time with just a faint touch of volatility that in some ways has become part of this Saint Emilion's character profile. You have to stand back and admire its bavura. The palate is maturing nicely, better than 2006 Troplong-Mondot with black cherries, blackcurrant, tar and Asian spices. This is nicely focused and shows superb freshness, a Saint Emilion that appears to have meliorated in bottle. Tasted January 2016.

此款葡萄酒散發(fā)著煙熏和香料的香氣，還帶有木頭和烤面包的味道。入口后質(zhì)地柔順，伴有漿果和干葡萄干的味道。該酒在我品嘗的時候仍十分緊實，不過隨著陳釀的進行，該酒會變得更加開放，濃縮度也會更高，2006 年 Merlot 的新鮮特質(zhì)也會更加明顯。評分：92。
