2005 Chateau Fourcas-Dupre
-
60% Cabernet ; 40% Merlot
(France / Bordeaux / Medoc)
|
RATED: 03/28/2009 |
|
|
|
| COMMENTS: |
With its deep dark cherry red colour, this wine seems very nice.
In the nose, you firstly smell oaky flavors and black fruits fragrances. But then, you can identify some rusted coffee bean smell and a background of spicy flavor.
In the mouth, you can recognize Cabernet Sauvignon tanins, which give this wine a good astringency. But I would say that this wine is very well balanced, thanks to its liveliness and its roundness.
As a conclusion, this long in the mouth and easy to drink wine will delight your full mouth.

(France / Burgundy / Cote de Beaune / Beaune)
|
ALCOHOL: 13.5%
RATED: 03/17/2009 |

|
|
| COMMENTS: |
Strange brick red colour wine first smelling like fur or some fruits in alcohol.
It has no oaky flavours as it could be expected. It first tastes like fruits in alcohol and give then a blend and rich mouthfeel.
It has a lively attack and is fullbodied, bitter in the end. A velvety perception can be felt while tasting and you'll feel a cinnamon and clove aftertaste.
This complex wine has medium length.
Warning : aftertaste rather than first taste is caracteristc of this king of wine.

| COMMENTS: |
This beautiful red wine has dark fruits aroma. It smells blackberry, black current, jam, vanilla and olive. Sometimes a few smoke smell come out to the nose. Some can tell it smells like liquorice.
It is a well balanced wine, medium bodied with acidity in first which is specific of Shiraz.
The mouthfeel is complex while in first attack comes acidity. After a minute the wine becomes round, all in the mouth, a little hot in mouth. In the end richness and tannins are felt.
Warning: this wine needs to be tasted three or four times before really enjoying it!

| COMMENTS: |
This green yellow wine.
While it is a blend of Australian wines, it has the characteristics of a Chardennay nose, moreover it smells a bit like fruits in Brandy. We can recognize some pear, banana and some pineapple smell and, with time, some oaky odor too.
This wine is very round, medium bodied. It has a good freshness and richness taste. It gives you a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet overall taste.
Generally, this wine is very light with tannins. It lets some bitterness and tannic aftertaste for a medium length.

This wine is a great coktail of sweet and fruity odors, a pleasure for the nose. In fact, they are so many black fruits odors that it is difficult to define excactly which one but the overall smells is a pleasure.
In mouth this light red wine is enough tannic to show you at first it is on your tong and sugary enough tou give you a very good taste then. It ends with a delicious dark fruity flavour which stays in mouth shortly.
A great light wine!

| COMMENTS: |
This wine has a pale yellow tint, which can look strange for a white wine.
Its smell is also a bit strange as it is a mix of differents odors such as lemon, vanilla and caramel. We can find too a touch of dry fruits smell which gives this wine an impression of old wine.
In mouth, this wine is very light with a little supper attack before a fresh fruity sugar evolution. This light tannic and light bodied wine is very easy to drink.
It lets a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet overall taste.This wine is well balanced and its finish is short and a bit abrupt.
Warning : some people may find this very light wine first like water in mouth and sugar in water in the end....
