Cherry fruit forward right now with a little bit of wet earth. Would like to re visit with a few more years.

Stewed prunes, black cherry, dusting of chocolate. Maybe Clos Pieur is not always this good. But 2019 is terrific.

Months into....distancing, and I find myself seeking bottles that "just taste good." No complications, no pretense, and pleasure. When I smelled this, it did the job. On the nose: soft oak, plum, brambles, musk. On the palate, good acidity, more plum and cranberry, good density and soft tannin on the finish. Totally solid and very enjoyable.

Finally starting to come around, if a bit young. Big and thick tannins plus ample acidity help temper some very youthful and vibrant red fruit. This is in the "tasty stuff, not profound" stage right now.

Fairly light and pedestrian, still a bit austere. Gained some weight after 30-60 mins, but not a whole lot going on here.

Fruity aromas but too acidic and a touch of Brett that dominated the experience.
