2008 - Chateau La Clotte

"Its strong perfume reveals scents of black fruits and forest floor, with plenty of glycerin as well as an impression of sweetness from the higher than normal alcohol and ripe fruit. The vintage’s freshness (from higher acids than normal) combined with ripe tannins result in a singular style with full-bodied power and richness yet nuance and delicacy."
