Clos Romanile 2015

"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Clos Romanile offers up blackberries, plums and black cherries on the nose with touches of tapenade, yeast extract and sautéed herbs. The medium-bodied mouth is fine, fresh and lifted, with fine-grained tannins and a harmonious finish." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2/21/2018, Interim Issue), Rating: 91, Drink from: 2019-2031 

"Valandraud’s winemaker’s wine. Only 2,000 bottles. Merlot with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, ripe and modern. Suave attack but fresh and firmly structured. Needs time to open." - Decanter Magazine

The 2015 Clos Romanile is a rock-solid Saint-Emilion that offers a polished, lively, slightly lifted style in its black and blue fruits, violets, sappy herbs and floral aromas and flavors. With moderate tannin and a ready to go style, drink it over the coming decade." -Jeb Dunnuck, Jebdunnuck.com, Rating: 88, Drink: 2018-2028
