I've often found a note of 'oak' on the nose which surprised me given his low use of 'neutral' new oak. That this reductive element was a little more pronounced than usual but in being so gave me the connection to my previous observations. I'm sure Fourriers never smell oaky if decanted for an hour - i.e. the reductive elements are chased away. Was anyway a delicious wine even when showing the note... I’m pretty sure it is Tom.

I've often been surprised by this. Is that reductive undertone the explanation for the impression of lots of polished oak sometimes given by young Fourriers? I’ve often been surprised by this.
