As my palate expands, I’m starting to recognize the Clos Saron signature that makes these wines so beguiling and attractive. Ripe wild fruit, slightly bretty and with a touch of VA that typically blows off after an hour or so. But an incredible depth of secondary aromas ranging from stone and mineral, to dried herbs, to wild animal musk. And at this age, palate is beautifully balanced between fine tannins and a fresh acidity. Wines of character and place for sure.

Showing classic Clos Saron earthy fruit on the pop n pour. Two days later still drinking well, putting on a little more weight with air time.

Grippy tannins. Paired well with liver pasta, ribs, and flank steak.

Blueberries, funk and decent weight with some refreshing acidity. Would have loved to try this a few hours in or in a few years.
