2020 | Clos du Clocher | Pomerol (Half Bottle)

Lots of ripe cherries, plums, violets, and cedary herbs define the nose of the 2020 Clos Du Clocher, which is medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant, and beautifully balanced on the palate.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Clos du Clocher gallops out of the glass with energetic scents of crushed blueberries, boysenberries and plum preserves, plus touches of ground cloves, cedar chest and damp soil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers beautifully pure, well-defined black fruits with a fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing earthy.

• James Suckling: Aromas of ripe blackberries and spiced plums with licorice, dark chocolate, walnut and dried leaves. Medium- to full-bodied with layers of firm, finely grained tannins and a velvety texture. Toned and structured with a juicy, dark-fruited palate and polished finish with hints of crushed stones.
