Medium to deep garnet-purple in color

Very charming and precocious with ripe-redcurrant character and a lovely combination of delicate sweetness and supple tannins on the palate

full-bodied

the 2015 Château Barde-Haut showed even better on this occasion than on release

underscored by mineral salinity refined with plenty of distinction

Clos Rene, Pomerol, France 2016 Chateau Trotte Vieille Medium to deep garnet-purple inThe 2016 Clos Ren has a tightly wound but well defined bouquet with undergrowth tinged black fruit, bay leaf and light pencil lead aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite fresh in the mouth, classically styled as usual, and nicely focuses toward the finish. Often overlooked, this is a sophisticated and finely sculpted Pomerol. Recommended. 91 Pts Vinous
