92+. This is typical Fourcas Dupre (which is quite a compliment). Nice medium to dark ruby color. Bouquet of cedar, smoke, spice, tobacco, earth, minerals (quite complex with a lot of secondary flavors). Medium bodied, concentrated with mineral, smoke, earth, spice, cedar, more minerals, hints of chocolate, earth. Good fruit with tons of secondary character. Loads of acids and tannins keep this from fully expressing all its got. Delicious and tasty now, it is not shoiwng all its cards and will further develop. Amazing stuff. Insane over the top QPR (if you dont have this in your collection and you like Bordeaux, you're missing out!). Why doesn't it fly off the shelf? Because its old world, old school and built for ageing and rewards cellaring (not for immediate consumption). One can enjoy this now, but its really best from 2025-2030, possibly longer. Like a combination of their towering 2010 and delicious fruitier 2012. A must have. Cellar selection. Don't be dumb, get you some. Other vintages are also winners. This is a wine that shows you can have great quality at a reasonable price

very nice, lots of forest floor and earthy notes, has some complexity, medium body, good acid, moderate finish. Not quite as good as the 2010 imho.
