Tasted blind. There’s a little bit of fruit but lots of bitterness on the end. Hard. (JR)

A gorgeous wine in the vintage, the 2021 Château Quinault L'Enclos has loads of black raspberry and ripe currant fruits to go with complex notes of flowers, spice, and spring flowers. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, incredibly elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. The quality here continues to blow me away, and readers need to get this château on their radar.
The 2021 Quinault l'Enclos, of which 50% of the crop was lost due to mildew, has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of licorice coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins, very linear and saline in style. It’s a bit short and, you could argue, mean, though it keeps you coming back for more.
The 2021 Quinault L’Enclos is a potent, savory wine. The Merlot is way down this year and the Cabernets are up, which confers a decidedly savory character. The 2021 was aged in 500- and 600-liter casks, plus 25HL foudres . In short, Quinault offers a fine picture of the vintage. It’s all there— with plenty bright acids and tons of savory/earthy character.
