Description

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: “An off-the-hook Saint-Emilion, the inky colored 2016 Château Clos de Sarpe is mostly Merlot but includes 15% Cabernet Franc. A beautiful, floral character gives way to more blueberry, raspberry, spice, and cedar notes, and it’s medium to full-bodied, fresh, and elegant on the palate, with thrilling purity of fruit. It’s still tight and reserved at the moment, with a focused feel on the palate, but has tons of potential. Give bottles 5-7 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 15+. Tasted twice. Drink: 2024-2039. (2/28/19)”

95 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): “Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Clos de Sarpe (composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc) is a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal provocative Black Forest cake, Chinese five spice and cigar box notes with nuances of sandalwood, kirsch, rose hip tea and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the palate is oh-so-seductive with a beautiful velvety texture and tons of freshness lifting the decadent fruit to a long spicy finish. Drink: 2021-2045. (Nov 2018)”

94 points James Suckling: “Blackberry, oyster-shell and salt aromas highlight this wine from the beginning. Full-bodied, firm and chewy with polished and intense flavors and tannins. Energized. Try from 2023. (2/3/19)”
