Why Ramafort?
Château Ramafort has been one of our most popular clarets over the last few years, and this 2018 is the latest in the line of fine vintages for the property. A vintage that has been called a 'legend in the making' by critics, one characterised by its warmth, ripeness, expression and fine structure. In McIness's hands, it has made for a very smart, classy claret, and to my palate, a lot of wine at this price point.

Tasting Note

Following on from the excellent 2016, the 2018 has perhaps a nudge more elegance and traditional style about it. Very classic and absolutely textbook Médoc. Profound blackcurrant coulis aroma - absolutely sings cabernet sauvignon - with spiced plum, a hint of cedar, and a woody, polished character. For a warm vintage, this is refined on the palate and comparatively 'light on its feet'. Very nice poise and harmony, with luscious black fruit and savoury, spicy richness dovetailing nicely with ripe, fine-grained tannins. Another classic from this fine estate.

What do the critics think?

“The 2018 Ramafort is bold and punchy, just as it was in barrel. Blackberry, scorched earth, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice are all kicked up in this tasty Médoc Cru Bourgeois. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. What comes through is the savoriness of the former and the plush fruit of the latter. The hearty, rustic style will work best at the dinner table. (Drink 2021-2030.) ”

“Cru bourgeois. 51% Merlot, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon. Attractive cedary, savoury, berry-fruit aromas. Palate juicy and refined with finely honed tannins. Classic, balanced Médoc without any excess. ”

I found this a very acceptable and decent claret for regular drinking. very very good value, and a small lesson in looking for supplies in interesting areas. Top marks to the detectives at FVD.

Excellent ten year old Medoc at a very good price. As ever, prompt delivery.
