2018
Clos La Madeleine (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Medium bodied, silky and vibrant, the ripe, bright plums and cherries are accompanied by a strong sense of minerality and a background note of licorice which really shines. The long finish is lifted by the vitality of the ruby red fruits. Give this 4-7 years in the cellar for the wine to round out. it is going to be quite nice on maturity. 92-94 pts 2,467 Views Tasted Apr 19, 2019 |

Clos La Madeleine (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
The salty rocks, licorice, smoke and red fruits are the first thing you'll find, but most of the excitement will happen on the palate with its silky, sweet, fresh, red fruits and licorice nuances. You can drink this early, but aging will help the wine develop more complexities. 2,087 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |
