Clos Fourtet’s vineyards sit atop Saint-Emilion’s limestone plateau, just on the edge of the village. The 20ha vineyard is planted 85% to Merlot, 10% to Cabernet Franc and 5% to Cabernet Sauvignon on clay and limestone soils. The majority of the vineyards were planted as recently as 1991, due to which the quality is expected to improve over the next vintages as the vines reach maturity. Under the Cuvelier stewardship the wines are improving thanks to a no expense spared attitude held by the family.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
