Château Pierre-Bise Clos de Coulaine 2019

7.0
WineSaint
Saline and nutty with honeyed weight, but the energy has faded. What should be piercing minerality feels muted, replaced by oxidized apple and marcona almond notes. The texture remains substantial, yet lacks the electric tension that makes Clos de Coulaine compelling. This bottle has crossed the line.
