  Orange bricking color. Clear signs of aging. The nose has partially developed fruit and chocolate, moss, mushrooms and forest floor. Ripe cherries and floral notes of violets, elderberry flowers and summer meadow. The palate is soft and mild, clean and balanced, but all the tannins are gone. Not much structure left. Some acidity and power from the fruit is still present, but the bottle is over the top. This seems a bit like premature ripening to me. The bottle is still very good, but during 10 hours the wine dwindles and winds down into a shadow of itself. Very enjoyable right after opening, but for me this bottle will gain nothing from further cellaring.

  As usual, leaner and edgier than other Fourriers, but still vibrant and exciting

  Paler, and much sharper and edgier than the 2012/13 villages wines preceding it - bracing and exciting, though

  The edgiest of the Fourrier wines in one of the edgiest vintages, sour sour cherries, but there's sweetness there too. A compelling combo.
