There is a danger that the otherwise fine wines of Daniel Fournié are becoming excessively alcoholic. That’s the feeling here. So although the black fruit is ripe, opulent and packed with tannins, there is a nagging burn and pepper character. A degree less alcohol and this would be a fabulous wine.
