Description

Fourcas Hosten make a good mid-range claret that is usually dependable and sometimes better than that.

The warm 2005 vintage suited the property well, and this wine is now entering its drinking window.

A couple of recent cellartracker notes:

just fabulous - with that Price tag is has so much more than you normally get; not just in bordeaux but anywhere....wont last another decade though...
allow me to copy in the notes of Chris Cissac (I can highly recommend to sign up on his winedoctor web page)
(Chateau Fourcas Hosten Listrac) This is 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. A lovely nose here, firm aromatics, with smoky and exotic fruit notes. Clean but concentrated fruit on the palate with a trace of oak although this is integrating very nicely. A very polished, firm style, although with lovely structure, the clean ripe core of tannins only coming out at the very finish. There are pretty, floral nuances to provide some interest, and a little length to it as well. Very good indeed.

Agree with most reviews that this is a nice wine and very characteristic of Bordeaux. Lots of earthy notes with a nice loamy nose. Good acidity and nice balance. The only know I would have against this wine is that the finish is a little thin, but for the price I would say this is excellent value.
