A generous friend opened this at a small gathering and I think I was the only person there who even knew what it was. This was my first time drinking the “Clos du Temple”. The wine pours a pale pink-gold color with no signs of sediment or gas. On the nose, stone fruits and forest berries; apricots, peaches and strawberries. There’s also honeysuckle and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with no tannins. Acid is medium+. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, fresh and juicy. There’s a luxurious texture to this wine. Well done, if not exactly soul stirring. I guess only three cases of this were allocated to the state.
