2019 Clos des Menuts, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France (750ml) Piemonte and green appleTASTING NOTES: Clos des Menuts is a round, powerful wine for laying down, with subtle tannins. Its deep color is the result of well controlled extraction. A lovely nose of ripe grapes wrapped in an elegant woodiness with hints of toast and vanilla. These impressions are confirmed on the palate. Blend: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
