Clau de Nell 2018

Anjou, France

WineSaint
Dense and brooding with dark fruit intensity that builds through the palate. The structure feels imposing now. Firm tannins grip alongside earthy complexity and floral lift. Some rustic edges and a dry finish suggest this needs cellaring to find its harmony. Time will reward patience here. Drink 2025+.
