Note di degustazione
As to the red Graves from the Neipperg family, the 2016 Clos Marsalette is plush and charming, with a delicate style in its pretty cassis and currant fruits, notes of tobacco, medium body, and silky, fine tannins. All about balance and finesse, yet with good density, drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years. This is another brilliant sleeper in this vintage and should be snatched up by savvy readers.

The 2016 Clos Marsalette was picked from October 4 to 18 and bottled in June 2018. It has a tightly wound, quite broody bouquet that demands encouragement from the glass. There is lovely pure fruit here, but it prefers to remain in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an earthy, smoky opening and notes of blackberry and mulberry laced with dark chocolate and five-spice. The finish feels grippy but just a little stern at the moment. Give this three to five years in bottle.
Beautiful sweet berries and strawberries. Hints of orange peel. Full to medium body, medium tannins and a savory and bright finish. Enjoy the toasted oak and chocolate undertone to this. Drink in 2021.
The 2016 Clos Marsalette is super-expressive and delicious today. Savory herb, cedar, tobacco, menthol, licorice, rose petal and wild cherry all run through this nuanced, inviting wine. Aging has brought out an aromatic quality the wine did not show en primeur. Medium in body and gracious, the 2016 is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Tasted two times.
