2007 Ch Fortia Cuvee du Baton CDP

[winoweenie]

Now the brick has done hit me upside my thick dome! This be what the shoutings about. Brite ruby. Nose of dark fruits, leather and gorgus funk. Hits all the tastebuds running and the finish is a sold 4&1/2 lapper. Shuts down as the tannins take over. Needs a minimum of 8-12 to hit full stride. A rec by ole' buds John at Vintage in San Diego. A double winner. Drinks well now with an hour and a half decant and should become spectacular with some whiskers. REALLY good stuff. 93/95 33 by the box 14.5% alc. WW (As usual ole' fat-fingers hit the T 'stead of the R. Make that Cuvee du Baron.)
