La Clusiere (750ML)
From Saint-Emilion
| Vintage: | 1998 |

| Description: | 95 JS / 91 Wci / 90 Rp. This is a phenomenal bottle with licorice, violet and berries on nose. Full body with soft and velvety tannins and a velvety finish. This is perfect now. A fabulous wine. Shame this isn't made anymore. The small estate was absorbed by Pavie. Last vintage was 2001, if I remember correctly. 95 points. - James Suckling. The last bottle from the case was one of the best with its licorice, chocolate, black cherry, mineral and earthy personality. This soft, round St Emilion is fully mature and will probably not improve much from here. But there is no hurry to drink either.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider. Medium ruby. Idiosyncratic aromas of black raspberry, kirsch, roasted coffee and game; still quite reduced. Sweet, fat and rich, with a firm tannic spine giving it considerable power and thrust. This has excellent depth of flavor and strong finishing fruit. An impressive early showing. |
