Community Tasting Note

  October 19, 2014 - Smelt ok at first blush but limpid and dull on the palate. after a minute in glass, clearly premixed. Bloody annoying given what this wine should have been.

I had 2 bottles of the 2007 Clavoillon earlier this year and they were both premoxed. They must be at sixes and sevens - devastated, more like it - at the Domaine with what they did to the 06's and 07's.
