Closel Clos du Papillon 2018

WineSaint

Lush pear and baked apple build with impressive mineral depth and creamy weight. The palate shows genuine concentration and appealing richness, but 14.5% alcohol brings noticeable heat that disrupts the wine's otherwise elegant flow. Nearly outstanding quality held back by excessive warmth.
