Gaining hints of bacon fat and game with air

with notes of blue fruit and violets

An exotically perfumed bouquet presents candied dark berries and cherry-cola

although it tapers in a little toward the finish when you would expect it to fan out

Guillot Clauzel Vintage:2009 Gaining hints of bacon fatA blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Guillot Clauzel has turned out beautifully. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, plums and licorice, it's medium to full bodied, elegantly layered and fleshy, with a vibrant core of fruit, polished tannins and a penetrating finish. As readers will remember, this 2. 5 hectare estate has been managed by Vieux Chteau Certan's Guillaume Thienpont since 2018.
