2016 Château Ramafort, Cru Bourgeois, Médoc
In Stock
ABOUT THIS WINE
Another fine vintage for Andrew McIness's Ramafort, the 2016 takes the ripeness and expression of the excellent 2015 and adds a nudge more structure and texture. As ever, a claret of remarkable character and presence, with luscious cassis fruit, tobacco, woodsmoke and spice in perfect balance. With time in the glass, more layers of aroma and flavour emerge, and tannins are ripe and fine-grained. Real finesse here.
Tasting Note
Intense bright dark red with a sophisticated and fine nose of restrained ripe fruit. A glorious mouth fill of ripe almost stewed red fruit with hints of spice, leather and tobacco. Lots of complex flavours here supported by strong silky tannins and a mineral underbelly. The finish lasts and lasts. It will of course improve with age.

What do the critics think?
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.
