2014 Château des Fougères Clos Montesquieu

The is classic left bank Bordeaux at great qpr. Pencil lead, gravel, tannins in control, tight structure. Agree with others that fruit is fading some probably best to drink sooner than later unless you like the mushrooms and forest floor beyond fruit

A bit muted on day 1 (young) but ready for business day 2! Mixed berry compote on nose, a little vanilla and nutmeg? Christmas in April? Red berry on taste, but subtle and not too big. Tastes like a well made with without flaws that will develop tertiary structure over next few years. Buy more!

Muted nose but upon opening two hours opened. Red fruit (cherry and some raspberry) with little oak or tannins and medium acid. Surprisingly long finish with some iodine? Delicious with grilled filet mignon with herb baste and caramelized brussel sprouts. Interesting how pairing can impact tasting.
