Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 6, 2016 - I have always found FH to be a consistent cru bourgeois for decades, much like Poujeaux. Expecting another simple but nice restaurant wine that drank well in a great vintage, I was surprised by the angularity and unyielding flavors even after an hour in the decanter. Wonderful color of dark red robe, almost black garnet, and the nose had as much oak and forest as it did a hint of cherry. The wine took a half hour to shed its acidic profile, yielding a warm but unvariegated simplistic flavor profile that at this stage is no better than an inexpensive recent vintage St. Emillon. This will improve no doubt but how much remains to be seen. So hold for five or more years or give it at Christmas.
