December 29, 2023 - Great pqr. Well made.Inviting nose. Plum, black currant, bay leave touch of vanilla and tabaco. Will be better in a year or 2, but definitely approachable now.

November 13, 2023 - Clos Floridene's 2020 rouge is an opaque crimson blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Aromatically oozing with red and black bramble fruits, mulling spices, tobacco, savory herbs, iron and violets, it is a medium-bodied, energetic red with nicely integrated alcohol (14%), silky-textured tannins and proportionate oak. With flavors that mirror the nose, a dense mid-palate and medium-to-long finish, this is beyond impressive for any wine at such an attractive price point. Sampled over four hours from a bottle that had been decanted through a Vinturi aerator, it fully opened after the first two hours in carafe. Drink now-2035.

September 30, 2023 - Drank same night as the white from this winery. This one is young, so we decanted 1+ hours
Medium mouthfeel. Tannins weren't aggressive. Lots of black pepper on the palate with an undernote of dark cherry. This is nice, but will probably be better in 3-5 years. -

March 21, 2023 - Savory edged, bright, spicy, red plums and currants on the nose lead you to the vibrant, chewy, lifted, red berry filled, medium-bodied palate with its dusty tannins in the finish. Drink from 2023-2032.

May 22, 2021 - 91-92 vvPunkte Sehr schöne, komplexe Nase. Zeigt Noten von blondem Tabak, dunklen Kirschen, Cassis und auch Schwarztee. Im Gaumen seidenweich, sehr gut strukturiert, hier eckt nichts an, alle Elemente sind in guter Balance, die Frucht wirkt knackig und die Säure hält frisch. Im Abgang lang, ausgewogen, trinkanimierend. Ein sicherer Wert. 2024-2035 (April/Mai 2021) vvWine.ch
