Clos des Prince 2001




St Emilion GC. Q a solid right banker - it has all the textbook Bordeaux elements - tannic backbone w a touch of fruit. Not your usual New World fruit bombs. Still dark garnet in colour despite a decade of bottle age. Nose is adequately open - w weak scent of warm berries. Rounded palate, q enjoyable, even trying to impress w some complexity peeking through at the end but not enough to make it great. Finishes off with a ok length. Not a powerhouse but definitely a decent wine for a decent price (7.7/10).
