Auguste Clape, Cotes du Rhone Vintage:2022

Auguste Clape, Cotes du Rhone Vintage:2022NA

it will be worth the wait

blue berry and a bit of oak gives way to beautifully textured middle weight flavors that also terminate in a finish that displays a mild dryness though here it’s less pronounced

there is excellent energy and density to the powerful and muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess a healthy level of the same on the austere

honeyed fruit

This vintage is perhaps shapelier and more saturated with rose

pear and spice aromas jump from the glass to reveal clean

and touches of glycerine and graphite that are well-defined but persistently broody

It was bottled in September 2019

Suitably rustic and dense in structure

An exuberantly spicy nose offers up notes of cassis

Brooding aromas of crushed black fruits

there are no single vineyard wines
