Do you actually think anyone is going to wait till 2028 to begin drinking a $25-30 bottle of 2018 Fourcas Dupre? The past few vintages of this QPR winner have been outstanding and usually ready to drink a few years post release.

I think that is when it will be fun – it can be enjoyed earlier – but this wine is still ripe. Maybe I could lower it to 26, but not before that, IMHO. In the past, Fourcas may seem enjoyable, early on, but that does not really define its window. The window is when the fruit and tannin come together and the tertiary notes start to emerge. With this structure, I have a hard time seeing that happening early on. Still, 2026 is a better window start.
