92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "My money is on the 2016 Château Fourcas-Borie being the wine of the vintage in Listrac, It’s rare to find a Listrac with this level of depth and richness. Smoking notes of blackcurrants, black cherries, and graphite all emerge from this medium-bodied effort that has terrific mid-palate concentration, ripe tannins, and a brilliant finish. Want to taste the best from Listrac? Buy this wine. Drink: 2019-2031. (2/28/19)"
92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Made by the same winemaking team as the top estate of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien, this wine comes from a long-time Borie family estate. The wine, with its layers of rich blackberry fruits and firm, dusty tannins, is concentrated, dark and certain to age well. Drink from 2025. Alcohol 14%. (Apr 2018)"
92 points James Suckling: "A tight and juicy red with rust, black-fruit and iron character. Full-bodied, tight and focused and very beautiful. So delicious already. Drink in 2020. (2/2/18)"
90 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Chateau Fourcas-Borie has a lot of panache on the nose: high quality oak in evidence here but there is plenty of red and black fruit locked in behind. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe black fruit, good grip in the mouth with a dense, well-balanced and convincing finish that attests to breeding and thoughtful winemaking. If Bruno Borie’s other wines are out of financial reach then reach for this splendid Listrac. Drink: 2019-2032. (Oct 2017)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "Lovely raspberry and plum fruit races along, flecked liberally with anise and singed mesquite notes. Has a plush edge, revealing a tug of wet earth at the very end. Best from 2019 through 2025. (2018)"
