With 12.5% stated alcohol, this wine is far less of a beast than some later vintages. It actually opens with air and shows some pleasant fruit and some evidence of softened and more integrated tannins. Needs air.

Honoring the late Denis Durantou from Chateaux L’Eglise Clinet. A dark red-purplish color. Nose fills with a plum raspberry fruit and forest floor essence floating with scents of vanilla, earthie spices and cedar. A smooth silky feel in the mouth—hitting the tongue with plum and strawberry fruit; gravel rock and cedar tar linger vanilla notes settling on the mid palette—a medium dry finish of pencil lead and subtle tannins. A pleasure to enjoy this wine in remembrance of the owner and wine maker who we had the joy of meeting in 2012.

Slow-oxed for several hours, then double decanted, it was still shy at first, but slowly opened as it warmed in the glass to reveal a nice combination of richness and precision, with pure black and red fruit, a little tobacco, and substantial but fine tannic structure. It can be enjoyed now with lots of air, but really needs more time.
