Château Fourcas Dupré, Listrac-Médoc, 2015

Ripe middle palate and none of the Listrac roughness – quite a forward style with good balance.

Fourcas Dupré sometimes produces rustic wines, but this vintage shows more polish. Attractive cherry nose; the palate is suave, concentrated and weighty, with sufficient tannins to give some structure without toughness. It’s balanced and quite long, but doesn’t show great flair.
