Complexe volle expressieve wijn. Zwart rijp fruit, mineralen, een vleugje kruiden, fraai geïntegreerde tannines en een afdronk met kielzog.
The Wine Advocate:
The 2005 Clos de L’Obac is 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Garnacha, and the balance Syrah, Carinena, and Merlot. The wine was aged for 14 months in new French oak and bottled unfiltered. More structured and expressive than its sibling, the nose delivers smoke, slate, scorched earth, black cherry, and blueberry. Plush and layered, the wine has excellent length and 6-8 years of cellaring potential. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2025.
