Expansive and ripe for the vintage, this wine displays an array of fresh ripe plums and dark, sweet raspberries, with cocoa spice and cherry liqueur on the finish.

There is always speculation that this great terroir belonging to the Audy family could do even better, but this 2012, a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, achieved a rather remarkable 14.5% natural alcohol. Inky ruby/purple, the wine offers up notes of licorice, damp earth, blue and black fruits, high levels of glycerin and opulence, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This wine is impressive, and may be one of the Clos du Clocher cuvees that lives up to its great terroir and potential. It is a beauty and still somewhat under the radar. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. Apr 2015, www.robertparker.com

Clos du Clocher is a Pomerol estate owned by the Bourotte family of the négociant Jean-Baptiste Audy. In the heart of the famous Pomerol plateau, under the shadow of the eponymous church bell tower, this 5.9-hectare estate is home to some truly ancient vines that produce tremendous wine.
