Clos LaChance Colibri Cuvée du Cecilia 2021

This is deeply coloured, substantial and ripe, with generous aromas of almost candied black plum and cherry, liberally anointed with oak resin, vanillin and spice. It is full bodied, soft, warm and quite plush with fine tannin. A touch sweet but contextually appropriate. It lacks varietal personality but it is California to its boot straps. Very good to excellent length. Tasted Feb 2024. Score – 89. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
