Very ripe – black cherries and animal fur. Sweet start but no real concentration behind it. Astringent and not very appetising.

One of the best wines from proprietor Christian Dauriac in many a year, the 2009 La Clemence has backed off the overt oakiness and is a better wine for it. Dense ruby/plum, with notes of black cherry liqueur intermixed with flowers and lead pencil shavings as well as hints of smoke and chocolate, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, fleshy and ripe, with low acidity and sweet tannin. This wine should drink well for at least a decade or more. Wine Advocate.February, 2012
