Community Tasting Note

TWSA Likes this wine:

Monday, March 18, 2024 - Nose: earthy, candy, fresh cherry, red fruits, smoke, raspberry, tea leaves, mung beans
Notes: Tasted blind and after a few rounds of guessing we confirmed this to be a Fourrier but I didn't catch Clos Saint Jacques before the label was revealed but what a nose this Fourrier is offering! With a good mix of fresh cherry and earthy notes this surely is a very elegant and relatively feminine Fourrier. Palate is well balanced and perhaps a little mature for 2013. After 2 hours of opening an intriguing nose and aftertaste of tea leaves appeared and this certainly makes the wine more enjoyable. If I must pick something to complain about it would be that the body is little light for a Clos Saint Jacques. Although this is drinking nicely now, I think it hasn't reached its prime yet, thus I would suggest one to wait a couple more years before drinking it.
