Chateau Fourcas Dupre 2016

- 91 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, dezente Randaufhellung, zarte Edelholzwürze, frische Herzkirschen, zarte tabakige Nuancen. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeeriger Touch, präsente, etwas fordernde Tannine, rote Kirschen im Nachhall, mineralischer Rückgeschmack.“

- 91 DECANTER, Jane Anson: „This is tasting beautiful this year, very enjoyable fruit extraction that manages to be intense but not overdone. The tannins are firm but could perhaps be a little more pliable to fully open up the structure of the wine. Classic, with lovely menthol notes and a good example of the work being done in Listrac right now. Planted to 44% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest Cabernet Franc and a splash of Petit Verdot.“ 2025-2038

- JEB DUNNUCK: „The medium ruby-colored 2016 Château Fourcas Dupré offers pretty notes of blueberries, cherries, and flowers to go with a medium-bodied, balanced, rounded, impressively textured style on the palate. It's a terrific Listrac that has real depth.“

Bewertungen für Jahrgang 2015:

- Bernard Burtchy, Le Figaro: "La robe est grenat sombre et le nez est légèrement végétal. Le vin possède un joli fruit avec une touchée boisée, bonne longueur, la finale est fraîche. 3-10 ans."

- Bettane et Desseauve: "Frais, équilibré, avec un caractère noblement médocain de cèdre et presque de graphite, et certainement digne d'intéresser de nombreux amateurs intelligents, d'autant que son prix restera raisonnable."

- 91-93 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2015 Fourcas-Dupre offers plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit on the nose, a touch of brine here, a subtle marine influence that lends it complexity and personality. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy opening, a melange of red and black fruit, taut and quite linear with plenty of freshness and tension on the finish. This is a well-crafted Listrac that punches well above my expectations. Hopefully it can retain this level after its élevage - one to keep an eye on."

- 89-91 Punkte FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, zart nach Lakritze, feine Orangenzesten, tabakige Nuancen. Komplex, würzig, präsente Tannine, zart nach Nougat im Abgang, braucht Zeit."

- 16,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON: "Mid cherry red. Fragrant with both red and black fruit. On the lighter side though elegantly balanced. Plenty of freshness and just enough fruit to fill the fine-boned structure."

- 91 Punkte NEAL MARTIN: "The 2015 Fourcas-Dupre, which showed extremely well from barrel, has a classic pencil lead-scented bouquet that builds nicely in the glass, blackberry and briary scents very expressive after just a few swirls of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity. This is not a deep or powerful wine, but it has a certain elegance and I appreciate the precision on the finish. You could broach this early or just enjoy over the next 12 to 15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2019 - 2032."

- JoS, verkostet im Rahmen der Prowein 2018: "Sehr gut, feingliedrig, auch Kräuter, Finesse, mineralischer Drive!"
