2012 Chateau Fourcas-Dupré 12 Pack

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

This wine comes from one of a group of wineries with vines in the small area north of Listrac called Le Fourcas. It's packed with red fruits and juicy acidity. The dominant Merlot gives a bold, rich texture backed up by the more structured Cabernets. It will develop quickly and be ready from 2017.

87–89. Barrel sample. This wine is solid and dark with bitter tannins that offer a hard edge to the riper blackberry fruits. A dense wine that has a very dry core.

James Suckling

Some berry and stone character with hints of clay. Medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Pleasant and lively if a bit austere

Robert Parker - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

This has never been one of my favorites, although in great vintages where ripeness is easily obtained, it can be a useful wine. The 2012 seems to be reasonably successful for the vintage. It is not too austere, its tannins are fairly ripe, and the wine is mid-weight with attractive notes of black and red currant fruit, spice box and earth Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Steven Spurrier - Decanter

Drink 2017-2024Dark purple. Sweet then savoury on the nose. Good freshness. Very plush texture and wonderful work to make this as engaging as possible but it all rather falls away towards the finish. Shame… Greenness and meanness assert themselves towards the end. 16/20

Jacques Dupont - Le Point

Fruits rouges, tanins soyeux, dans un style un peu margalien, frais, gourmand, réglisse en finale. O= 2016 G= 8 ans. 14-15/20
