Château Clauzet

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light toast, Mediterranean spices, wet leaves, chocolates, tobacco leaf, earth, herbs and forest floor.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, blueberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, light vegetables, black tea and pencil lead.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 21 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe is drinking beautifully now.

Still showing enough fruits with lots of chocolate and earth notes. Elegant and rich. Subdued, but interesting.

What are great surprise. I did not think this would drink so nicely at this point.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime, when tannins show up.

Showing good structure and balance. Complex on the palate and the nose.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired very nicely with French cheeses.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

13% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$50.

I have been to their tasting room in Chablis. A very good and consistent producer.

The showed the quality of 2022. Nice fruit, texture, soft minerality with just a slight touch of flintiness.
