+--- Thread: Croix Fourney from 1993 (/thread-18829.html)
- drumm - 12-25-2005
Hi everybody, I received a crate of Chateau La Croix Fourney Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from 1993 a couple of years ago, but I'm not really a wine drinker, so I just recently came across the wines.
Does anybody know if they are still drinkable? And are they any good?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the board.
One Bordeaux vintage chart has 1993 as a very good year (not excellent or exceptional). Go ahead and try a bottle and see what you think. I'm not familiar with the specific St Emilion you list but it probably has a lot of Merlot wine in the blend and will perhaps be less tannic than a Bordeaux from Pauillac. If you are not really a wine drinker maybe you should invite over friends that do like wine and get their opinion.
