2015 Château Ramafort, Cru Bourgeois, Médoc
Having recently retasted the 2015 Château Ramafort, I would now strongly recommend that you begin exploring this outstanding, much-applauded vintage. The ripeness, fresh acidity, and well-structured tannins its stellar growing conditions provided are now coming into their own, as this Cru Bourgeois so deliciously demonstrates.
What's more, if you'd swooned over the estate's successful 2010 vintage, you might just find their 2015 even better. Neal Martin at robertparker.com certainly does: Simply the best wine from Ramafort I have tasted thus far...
Why so good? Because of the long stretches of thoroughly warm days and consistently cool nights that yielded such perfect cabernet and merlot fruit. When healthy levels of phenolic development enjoyed during the day were balanced by the refreshing levels of acidity lower night-time temperatures preserved and sustained.
The result has been a Ramafort vintage that is generous, vibrant, and fresh little wonder we sold over 4,500 bottles sold upon release!

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.
