Clos De Sarpe 1962 Ex-Chateau (750ML)

89 JD

Coming from a warm, dry year that largely falls in the shadow of 1961, the 1962 Château Clos de Sarpe is also fully mature and offers complex notes of currants, black tea, cedar, and sous bois, with a kiss of menthol. Medium-bodied and balanced on the palate, it builds nicely with time in the glass, has a seamless texture and plenty of sweet fruit. - Jeb Dunnuck
