Château Clos de Sarpe 2009

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2009 Clos de Sarpe is deep garnet colored with a drop-dead gorgeous nose of crème de cassis, blackberry pie and black plum preserves with hints of hoisin, espresso, exotic spices, licorice and fruitcake. Full-bodied, rich and decadent, it has a wonderfully elegant structure of exquisitely ripe, silky tannins and spectacular freshness, carrying the dense fruit to the long finish.
