Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2001 Clos de Sarpe is deep garnet-brick in color and sings of potpourri and Indian spices with a baked raspberries and plum preserves with a hoisin undercurrent plus a waft of tapenade. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of chewy tannins and bags of mature black fruit preserves and exotic spices, finishing with great freshness and depth.
Blend : 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.
