  Deep ruby, bordering on garnet. Decanted for a hour. Nose of blackberry and thyme. Medium bodied with a slightly peppery finish. Chewy.

  Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe 2016 CB
  13.5% alc
  (55% CS / 40% M / 5% CF and PV)
  The wine is in a wonderful early drinking window.
  Nice to drink P&P and one or two days later. Nose is not spectacular, but the wine shows his qualities on the palate: notes of cassis, blueberry, juniper and freshly ground fine white pepper with some graphite notes in the aftertaste show the typicality of Saint-Estèphe on a very high level given the price-point. This Cru Bourgeois sells for a song. (2023 - 2033)

  Drank 2 weeks ago. Wine was completely closed. Needed much more time. At the end of the bottle, wine was better. I have a 3L of this and won't drink before 2-3 years.

  This is a solid value in my opinion. Earthy flavors, cherry, mountain thyme. Tannins are still dominant. Nothing flat. We will see..wir werden sehen.

  Deep dark red. Soft fruit nose with mineral. Tapers off to a flat lifeless red. Lack of acid and tannin, no structure and flat finish. Purchased from reputable merchant. Not bottle fault.
