Clos and Clos: The OC Does Les Clos and Clos St Jacques (Marche Moderne, Costa Mesa CA): The nose seemed oaky to me. Not overpwering or anything to that degree but the wood tones I noticed had that cologne-like signature. The palate seemed richer too, like a framboise. Blueberry and raspberry, with at the end also included a bit of celery stalk. A bigger styled wine, that is kind of an oddity at 20 years old.

Very aromatic and as it sat, became a bit old bones in the nose. Pungent with mushroom. Yet, the palate is still fresh and giving with red fruits, even some zing, rose water and strawberry. A real treat to drink a 20 year old CSJ.
