Château FOURCAS HOSTEN 2022 – Listrac-Médoc

The nose is aromatic, spicy and offers power and a certain intensity and a little darkness. It reveals notes of Boysenberry, bright redcurrants and small notes of pepper associated with touches of infusion, a hint of aromatic herbs, as well as discreet touches of graphite, cornflower and a subtle note of clove. On the palate, the wine is beautifully juicy, fruity and offers freshness, brightness, minerality and a fresh frame. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, cherry and more discreetly fresh raspberry associated with touches of racy minerality, graphite and Sichuan pepper, as well as hints of clove. Tannins are mellow and racy. Fine chewiness on the finish. This wine offers freshness and juiciness and needs time to soften. A little sapidity on the finish and good persistence.
