This is another legendary vintage of Clos Erasmus in the making

grapefruit and vanilla notes

Not as complete as the 1962 tasted alongside

The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins

persistent and palate staining finish

Vieux Chateau Mazerat other_regions_italy This is another legendary vintageThis has ample weight for the vintage, with enticing blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavors inlaid with cocoa powder and dark licorice notes. Theres a tangy iron accent on the finish, but this remains polished overall. The fruit should eventually fill in the available space. Best from 2018 through 2023. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 750 cases made. JM
