  Beautiful nose, raspberry jam, carob, floral notes. Very fine dry tannins and nice acidity, coupled with hung meat, blackberry jam and a long finish. Hint of white pepper and iron.

  Cork soaked about a third through, came out cleanly and easily.
  
  2.5 hour decant. Some fine sediment.
  
  Fantastic wine! The wine is still very much alive and still showing fruits, albeit lean. Meaty, ferric tones and very clear olive notes. Lovely freshness and good integrated tannins. A very fine and rare treat indeed. Tertiary notes just coming into life. Almost no browning.This wine is now very much a food wine. Excellent with lamb stew.
  
  Wish I had more bottles.

  Noticeably cloudy color. Expressive nose of farmyard, brett, earth, bacon, spice. Very complex, masculine, animalic. Northern Rhone, old style without seat belt, ABS and ESP. :-) The palate is well balanced, 13% Alc. so fresh and food friendly. So drinkable, the bottle was gone within minutes at the table with my friends.

  Four Bottles to Kick Off 2024 in Style (Santa Ynez, California): Bought on release and shared by a generous friend, this wine was singing from the moment opened. Clean and savory, with smokey, herbal and sweeter elements mingling happily with the dark fruit and coffee notes. The Clape signature for me was more iodine than barnyard, adding some lift and never distracting from this treat of a wine.

  Tasted vis-a-vis the Voge VV, this comes out more seeek, seems to have finally arrived. The fruit is bright, yet deep, lots of tell-tale olive notes here, black fruit, fine depth.
