December 27, 2023 - Much better than 3 years ago however still 5-8 years left before it reaches it apogee. Classic, nothing out of place.

March 23, 2023 - Dégustation Mars 2023 au resto AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke avec les FOUDUVIN de l'Estrie (Restaurant AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke): Bu au resto AVV de Sherby!
Jamais de second comme The Danny le dit si souvent...celui-ci
est tout de même excellent.
Fruits rouges, cêdre, tabac et moka.
Hélas, son prix est rendu tout simplement ridicule! -

January 21, 2022 - Long double blind wine tasting dinner. Short notes from memory. Same bottle as Collector. Bottle with slow ox I understood. I was convinced this was a SuperTuscan, especially the nose seemed to scream Tuscany. On the palate this was a bit angular with elevated acidity so was thinking this was Cab with a bit Sangiovese. This needs more time to mellow. Guessed Alceo...

January 21, 2022 - During a blind tasting dinner. Dark ruby purple hue. Very dense and closed despite a 5h decant. The group was guessing Super Tuscan, something like Alceo. One can see the coolness of the vintage. Will this ever be a great Les Forts or is it too cool, given the 2008 vintage. time will tell. Best after 2028. 88-92 pts range
