Massive floral aromas on the nose. Big juicy grenache that reminds you of a fruity new world Cabernet given the structure and dark fruit in the wine. Day two found it a bit mellower but still a very balanced wine with a long finish. Excellent with fish, BBQ, pasta, or steak...an outstanding wine for years to come if you have these in your cellar.

I am trying my 2nd bottle of this. Opened for 4 hours. On the nose: Black Cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, cola and plum with some alcohol heat. On the palate: Black cherry, licorice, dark chocolate, plum and baking spices. Very long and sensual. Big alcohol but really a great flavor profile.

Tasted blind. My good lord, a blast from the past from the Robert Parker era. Bigger, denser, bolder, riper, overripe even, marmalade, cooked fruit, alcoholic heat on the finish. Who drinks syrup like this? Our table was not a fan of this either. I guessed Priorat/CdP blind. My recommendation to the Clos Erasmus team: Buy a bottle of Rayas and learn...

Tasting: This I really liked. Initially I guessed Bordeaux and Cabernet Sauvignon, but after a few hours in the glass i thought Cabernet Franc.

Explosive, and may be to much. It evened out after decanting and for sure it is a good, well-made wine. But may be to much.
