Makuprofiili
In the glass, this 2016 Clos St. Jacques shows the lifted, refined character typical of a cool, challenging vintage. Expect a vibrant ruby hue, with an ароматic profile of red cherry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes, all wrapped in a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is silky and focused, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and impressive balance. The fruit is pure and precise rather than showy, and the finish carries both energy and length. While already approachable in its youth, this wine has the structure and pedigree to develop beautifully over the next several decades.
