Note di degustazione
The 2016 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru really delivers on the nose. It is just as ebullient in bottle as it showed in barrel with vivacious red cherries, crushed strawberry and mineral scents. A subtle touch of pressed rose petals emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure that grips the mouth, quite dense with a mixture of red and black fruit laced with tobacco and a light marine/saline note that becomes more accentuated with time. Superb. Tasted at Flint Wines Domaine Dujac tasting in London.

Good dark red. Deeper-pitched and more reticent on the nose than the Clos de la Roche, hinting at darker fruits and mocha; I would almost certainly have confused these two wines if they had been served blind. Very ripe and concentrated but medicinal and tightly wrapped, even a bit compact today. I don't find the usual definition and delicacy of young Clos Saint-Denis but this impressively thick wine finishes ripe, spicy and long, with a repeating medicinal aspect. Hard to taste today: I wanted a bit more verve.
