Quite a dense mid ruby. Eleven years since my last bottle of this and it’s evolved nicely. Still quite dense and vital, just a sense of herbal savouriness on the nose that hints at the vintage and follows through to provide a sense of spine to the palate. Darker fruited than typical for Fourier. Starting to show some sous bois development, though the fruit is still the main component. Quite long. Very drinkable, the profile proving a good match for some rich food. ****

Well, gave it more than 10 years to unwind since my last note, and it is still only just beginning to unwind. Beautiful yet structured fruit and earth palate is in the early stages of unwinding. Lots of grip on the finish; best years are still ahead. Wait at least another five years.

Wonderful showing, real class here. Hitting the Pinot-nerve in a surprisingly feminine way, yet the more spicy side of the appellation does show. Extremely elegant, and this is a point, if you ask me, once again showing the qualiyy of 2004. #AndréInMemoriam

Intensively perfumed nose, serious, structured palate with marks of griottes, ripe strawberry, spices and mushrooms. Deep and wide, good complexity, good overall balance. In a great drinking spot right now.

Bright, resolved, very in style with the producer. No green. Juicy. 93
