Clos Des Menuts – L’Excellence 2012 – Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Moderately intense colour, ruby-red, with a slight purple hue. Fine nose. Good intensity there with some roasted oak, dark fruit, plum, blackberry. Some vanilla and clove. Good grip on the palate there. Quite fleshy and opulent, with nicely integrated new oak. Some roasted notes, coffee bean and mild spices. Very nice fruit here, attractive dark berries, with plum, red berries on the finish. Quite long and persistent. Quite delicious today but certainly with potential for many years in the cellar.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
