I’ve been telling everyone I can that 2012 on the Right Bank is superb, so the quality of the 2012 Château Clos de Sarpe didn’t surprise me. This still vivid purple-hued beauty isn’t far off the 2009 in style yet has a touch more purity and precision as well as full-bodied richness and depth, beautifully polished tannins, and a seamless texture. The tannin quality here is brilliant and gives this some early appeal, yet it’s going to age beautifully as well.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Clos de Sarpe has a gorgeous black cherries, black raspberries and crème de cassis nose with touches of mocha, licorice, lavender and menthol. Very big, full-bodied, rich and minted in the mouth, it has a velvety texture and fantastic freshness, finishing long and multilayered.
