Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2007-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2003

Less intense colour than the other Fourcas. Quite fragrant but relatively light-bodied for the vintage with some hardness on the finish and no great charm. (JR)

Score 84-87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Good ruby color. Slightly stunted aromas of black fruits, licorice and eucalyptus. Inky and withdrawn, with the licorice quality carrying through in the mouth. A rather dry style, and not yet displaying much flavor interest or personality.
