"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Clos de Sarpe gives up gorgeous blackberry, black cherries and warm plums notes with sparks of redcurrants and anise with a potpourri, tilled soil and bay leaves undercurrent. Full-bodied and packed with spicy energy in the mouth, it has a firm yet plush texture and fantastic freshness, finishing on a lingering earthy note."

"Blended of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% French oak, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Clos de Sarpe is scented of tilled loam, truffles and dried Provence herbs with blueberry pie, blackberry preserves and licorice at the core and wafts of black olives and roses. Exuberant, full-bodied and concentrated yet wonderfully vibrant and expressive in the mouth, it possesses firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with epic length."

"The 2015 Clos de Sarpe is a blend of 85% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. It has a hedonistic bouquet that delivers full-throttle cough candy/menthol scents that express winemaking intent, rather than the nuance of terroir. The palate is sweet, candied and rather cloying, missing the acidity to back it up and retain balance. The sweetness and glycerine render this impossible to imagine drinking in more than tiny gulps...over several months."
