November 7, 2020 - Holding up well and disguising its 15% alcohol very well. Good fruit and still some tannins - excellent with red meat. Good value.
December 11, 2016 - For a $12 wine in 2006 - this was amazing. I had 6 of these and just kept stretching it our and was rewarded. Held up so well, great fruit and balance. Loved it.
February 6, 2016 - har måske toppet, men stadig et godt glas
November 7, 2015 - Rich dark fruit nose of blackberry cassis and black cherry. These fruits carry through into the full fruit forward palate in perfect balance with tannins and acidity resulting in a rounded mouthfeel that persists in a moderately long finish. Yum!
August 27, 2015 - Blackberry, cassis and rose perfume nose. Rich dark fruit with nicely balanced acidity and fine grained tannins that smooth out further with time in the glass. One hour decant has helped. Another hour might have been even better.
June 13, 2015 - 4h after opening, the wine showed well (a bottle of this vintage tasted 4 years ago was undrinkable at first but came round beautifully after a few hours and was good next day).
Berries and plums on the pronounced nose. Very rich palate with a touch of raspberry ice cream at first. This soon gave way to dark cherries, plums, and cherry brandy. Spices were there throughout but difficult to identify ('all-spice'?). Soft leather tannins on the late palate.
Still good - Clos improves with age and lasts for well over a decade.
September 27, 2014 - Nice complex Bordeaux nose with well balanced palate. Tannins are muted and fruit not very prominent. Perhaps this wine is past its best.
August 28, 2013 - probably too late to be drink.
August 27, 2011 - Wow. Surprised at how good this was. Deep garnet color with soft tannins. Costumed the bottle over the course of the day and it just got better. Wish I had bought more of this.
June 20, 2011 - - Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of cedar. It's overly tannic and has flavours of tobacco and alcohol with a full body. Flabby texture with a medium finish - "Found" this bottle in the cellar, wasn't expecting much, got what I expected. Wasn't great a few years ago, didn't get better with age. As others have said, it's quite unbalanced. The fruit is mostly gone, tanning still going strong.
