The 2020 Fourcas Dupré has a cohesive and focused bouquet, more bashful than some of its peers, black fruit mixed with pencil lead and very light peony aromas. The palate is well structured with slightly angular tannins that will be smoothed by time. Fresh and saline, fine depth, this is very classic in style and it should mature well in bottle. One for cellaring.

This shows notes of cassis, black cherries, crushed walnut, toasted spices and chocolate. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that give a silky mouth-feel. Polished and refined with a delicate fruit character. Fresh and chalky finish. Drink or hold.

Black and blue fruits, smoked tobacco, and scorched earth define the 2020 Château Fourcas Dupre, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, balanced Listrac that has surprising density and depth. It's a rock-solid 2020 to drink over the coming decade.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Fourcas Dupre leaps from the glass with bold notions of redcurrant, cranberries, and raspberry leaves, followed by hints of pencil lead, lavender, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing, with crunchy, just-ripe red berry flavors and herbal accents framed by chewy tannins, finishing with a lively lift.
