Clos Fourtet St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé 2012

An opening punch of clove and turmeric spice, this is gourmet and enticing, with velvety tannins that are softly layered upon each other, buidling slowly through the palate to cradle the fruit. Waves of grilled cedar, campfire smoke, black cherry conserve, salted cracker and oyster shell salinity, moreish and irresistable. Beginning to melt and show its gentle side, this is great to drink now with a carafe, but can wait. 60% new oak. Stephane Derenoncourt and Jean-Claude Berrouet consultants.
