Score 78/100 · Drink 1987, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The medium-weight 1981 Clos Fourtet St.-Emilion has above-average fruit intensity, but the wood flavors dominate the frail composition of the wine. A nice ripe cherry component indicates good ripeness of the grapes, but the wood tannins are entirely too pronounced. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 2/87.
