2012 | Gerard Bertrand | Clos d'Ora

Clos d’Ora stands out through its deep garnet color. Its character,powerful and distinguished, is revealed by a hearty and intensemouth fill. The tannins are mature, subtle and intense. The blackfruit’s aromas are an invitation to a persistent depth, thanks to thesophisticated ageing. Clos d’Ora is an exceptional wine with animportant potential for cellaring.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The first vintage to be released, the 2012 Minervois la Liviniere Clos d'Ora is still going strong. There's a meaty, savory edge to the nose, adding nuance to the black olive aromas. Full-bodied and more concentrated than the 2013 or 2014, and more harmonious than the 2013, the blackberry, cola and spice flavors come together magnificently on the long, velvety finish.

• James Suckling: Cherry preserves, mocha and berry tea flavors fill the core of this full-bodied red. Licorice, leather and orange zest accents gain traction through the smoky, tannic finish.
