Critics' Tasting Notes:
"The 2015 Fourcas-Hosten has a classic blackberry and graphite-scented bouquet that opens up nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, a brisk line of acidity and a well-poised, focused finish that is a treat. This has certainly meliorated since its showing in barrel." Drink 2020-2030
89/100 points, Neal Martin, WINE ADVOCATE, February 2018
"Deeper and more complex than most 2015 Listrac wines, this has a serious mineral core that gives the finish considerable impact. Impressive length and vitality. You can drink it now, but this will expand as it matures at least through 2025."
91/100 points, JamesSuckling.com, January 2018
