Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Clos de Sarpe is profoundly scented of preserved plums, blackberry pie and blueberry coulis with hints of dark chocolate, licorice, hoisin and fertile loam. Full-bodied, rich and decadently spicy in the mouth, it has a plush texture and a very long, spicy finish. The blend [...] was aged for 13 months in 60% new and 40% second fill French oak barrels.
Blend : 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.
