At Clos Du Val, nose of cassis, dark fruit, and earth, more of the same on the palate, medium soft tannins on the mid palate, very smooth and supple, medium body, long finish, should improve.

Tasted at the winery, nose of rich dark fruit, more of the same on the palate, touch of bitters and tannin, very smooth and supple while tasting, medium body, long finish, needs three years in the cellar to peak.

Tasted at Clos Du Val today, the $120 price is a bummer, nose of rich earth, mocha, dark fruit, and Sumatra Coffee, more of the same on the palate, structured, well balanced, almost elegant, peaks in 2 years and last for twenty years, very tasty, easy to sip and enjoy, long/long finish.

Sampled at the winery. Very good, but I think the 2009 Stag's Leap District Cab was better, and less expensive! Comprised on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot. Richy textured blackberry, coffee, cherry, and earthy flavors. Sweet tannins. Nice finish.

Earth, minerality, berries. Extraordinary balance. Great subtle tannins. I love this wine. But. $120? Seems a bit too high priced even being so good.
