Clos des Menuts L’Excellence du Clos des Menuts Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Magnum 1.5L, 14.5%

Wonderfully youthful on the nose, the wine seems innocent, but attractive and compelling. Aromas of bright fruit leap from the glass, red berries in abundance. There is a lovely richness here, great structure and depth. Acidity is incredibly well interwoven with tannins to create a concentrated mouth-feel. It’s a really generous, yet fresh and juicy wine. It’s actually rather delicious, even at this young age and a wine which really ought to be considered strongly this year.

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot
