Chateau Clos Rene 2021

Suckling: "A solid red for the vintage. Medium-bodied with medium, round tannins and a soft texture. Mineral and dried-citrus undertones."

Galloni: "The 2021 Clos René is laced with hints of dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice and new leather. This mid-weight, succulent Pomerol offers fine depth in a stylish, plush, yet mid-weight frame. I would prefer to drink it over the next 10-12 years. All this needs is a bit more integration of oak."

Decanter: "Raspberry leaf and milk chocolate. Smooth and well worked, excellent clarity and a gentle nature to the palate. This isn't a showstopper but rather works with the vintage, presenting all the elements in balance. Creamy, gentle with a soft density and persistence. It's quiet but lovely."
