Tasting notes
The 2012 Clos St. Denis has turned out beautifully. Once of the more immediate and supple of the Grand Crus, the 2012 is built on a core of super-expressive, resonant fruit. There is plenty of depth, especially on the substantial finish, but the overall impression is of silkiness and softness, in relative terms, of course. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint and orange peel add the final layers of nuance. (AG)

Bright, deep red. Captivating perfume of raspberry, smoke, pepper and dried flowers. Extremely silky and rich, offering compelling sweetness and a sexy balance between fresh red fruit and spice notes on the one hand and saline soil tones on the other. Wonderfully dense, tactile and long on the subtle back end. Easier to taste today than the Clos de la Roche.
Deep red. Musky raspberry, complex soil tones and a high note of citrus zest on the fascinating nose. Dense, sappy and intense, but with an essentially silky texture to its flavors of raspberry, redcurrant, pepper and spices. Youthfully unforthcoming today but already wonderfully suave. Finishes with smooth tannins, terrific subtle persistence and a late hint of licorice.
