Clos Fourtet, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2010 Dominus Estate Color: Deep purple redDeep garnet in color, the 2010 Clos Fourtet is a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal notes of baked black cherries, blueberry preserves and dried mulberries plus hints of cast iron pan, fertile loam and cigar box with a waft of sandalwood. Full bodied, the palate has a rock solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and compelling freshness supporting the muscular fruit, finishing long and mineral laced. 98 Pts Robert Parker
