M. Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Rouge - Le Clos 2018

En af de sjældne vine fra Chapoutiers Selection Parcellaire serie, der er blandt verdens mest sjældne og eftertagtede vine. “These are among the world’s greatest wines, especially the single vineyard wines, many of which will last 50 or more years.” “These wines are for true connoisseurs….. they capture the essence of a vintage and terroir” “The single vineyard offerings are as good as Rhone Valley wines can be.” - The Wine Advocate “The impressive 2018 Saint-Joseph Le Clos offers up notes of both black cherries and black olives. It's full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a velvety-textured but mouthwatering finish and some dusty tannins. 95-97/100” – The Wine Advocate “Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark fruits, cola, candied flowers, olive paste and exotic spices. Densely packed and energetic in style, offering bitter cherry, blueberry, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors that unfurl slowly with air and show brisk delineation. The blue fruit note drives a strikingly long, spicy finish shaped by fine-grained, slowly building tannins. 93-95/100” – Vinous "I've loved every vintage of this cuvée and the 2018 Saint Joseph Le Clos is undoubtedly with the best of them. Incredibly complex notes of black raspberries, flowers, lavender, bouquet garni, and a terrific sense of elegance all emerge from the glass, and this full-bodied beauty has a silky, elegant texture, great tannins, and one seriously lengthy finish. It shows more spice and meaty nuances with time in the glass and this is more Hermitage than your classic Saint Joseph. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming 20 years. 97/100" - Jeb Dunnuck
