2000 Château Fougas Maldoror

[TheEngineer]

This wine exceeded my expectations for a $25 bottle of bordeaux. This wine appears to have travelled well to the 10 year point. My first bottle of this and patiences seems to have been rewarded. Still rather primal, with deep red fruits, lush but not extracted, enough complexity to keep it interesting and good medium Plus finish with most of the components in decent balance. Tannins not completely resolved so will go for a few years yet. Everything I'd want in a wine at this price point.
