I was thrilled that my last bottle of Clos Pepe was excellent. I opened and tasted, it seemed pretty good so I did not decant but put in an aerator. At dinner it had a great nose of cedar, black cherries, cola and spice. The taste was dark plums and other dark fruits. The finish was long and very smooth. I was going to save a bit to see how it would have been the next day but drank it all but did notice the finish being not as smooth at the end. Happy I did not decant thinking now I may have missed the best part.
A lot of history will Clos Pepe and a odd connection with Paterson, NJ that started it all. I’ve never been disappointed with their PN’s and some of their oddities including Grappa.

Delicious
Jun 4th, 2021Clos Pepe seems almost like a family of sorts with Paterson, NJ, Allen Ginsberg and selling to me before it became legal to do so in NJ. They are no longer producing wine under their own label, retired. I still have a bunch of bottles left and if they all drink as good as this one I’ll be a happy guy. Just a complex wine all around, very enjoyable.
