55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Dark crimson. Quite rustic, autumnal nose. Some sweet fruit on the palate, then a bit chewy on the finish. A tad inky. (JR)

Very dark crimson. A little blurry and furry on the nose. Loose and sweet and lots of early pleasure. A little spine of minerality. Very nice short-term wine. (JR)
Medium-bodied, with plenty of good berry, spice and cedar character. Medium tannins
Tasted at Vintex. The Clauzet has a rather floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet with good definition, smoky, earthy aromas developing with further aeration. The palate is full-bodied with dense, chewy tannins, a masculine Saint Estèphe with good weight, but showing good definition and focus towards the finish that should unwind nicely throughout its élevage. Tasted March 2010
