Parker about Château Fougas Maldoror 2000
The brilliant 2000 Fougas-Maldoror has a dense ruby/purple color and a nose of hot chocolate intermixed with black cherry jam, plums, and figs. The wine is dense, chewy, fatty, and totally delicious. Some tannin in the finish is nearly obscured by relatively high levels of glycerin.
