The 2016 La Clotte opens with a beautiful floral nose of violets and roses over a core of crushed cherries, black plums and blueberry compote plus a hint of camphor and coffee beans. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, with super ripe, wonderfully fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness that perfectly match the delicate fruit nuances and lead to a very long, aromatic and noble finish.
