Clos Dubreuil 2015

The 2015 Clos Dubreuil is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new French oak over the next 20 months. It has a delightful bouquet of hoisin and redcurrant, beautifully defined with an attractive marine influence coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with steely tannin, very focused with a brisk and vibrant finish that seems more precise than previous vintages, with a dash of white pepper on the aftertaste. This is serious Saint Emilion that is for long-term ageing. Bon vin! Drink date: 2021-2040. Score – 92-94. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, April 27, 2016)
