2012 Clos St Julien

A chunky, fleshy, deep ruby/purple colored St.-Emilion with loads of fruit and density, this large-scaled, big, masculine wine should repay cellaring from 5-12 or more years. A sleeper of the vintage. For keepers of statistics, this three-acre vineyard yielded a measly 25 hectoliters per hectare from a final blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot that fetched 14.5% alcohol.
