Score 86-88/100 · Neal Martin
Tasted at the Medoc UGC. The Fourcas-Hosten has a ripe, rounded bouquet with broody black, slightly tarry fruit with a touch of sous-bois. Showing a little more gumption than its neighbours. The palate is masculine, foursquare with good weight, very conservative with a rather reductive finish, but I think it will expand nicely by time of bottling. Tasted March 2010

In the heart of Listrac, surrounded by three hectares of gardens, this château has just over 40 hectares of vines – with Merlot planted on clay-limestone and Cabernet Sauvignon on the gravel plateau.
