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...

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

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

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!
