Clos St Denis, Grand Cru, 2012

The 2012 Clos St. Denis has turned out beautifully. Once of the more immediate and supple of the Grand Crus, the 2012 is built on a core of super-expressive, resonant fruit. There is plenty of depth, especially on the substantial finish, but the overall impression is of silkiness and softness, in relative terms, of course. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint and orange peel add the final layers of nuance.
