Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2006

80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red center with a violet flecked rim. Light gamy undertones to cool blueberry, spicy red cherry and hints of chorizo. Very fine tannins support the fruit through to the finish. Gets a little disjointed on the mid-palate. Finishes well. Hints of clove under bright cherry and cassis.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2008

One of the sexiest, most hedonistic wines of the vintage, La Clotte's 2005 (fewer than 1,400 cases produced from this 10-acre vineyard) is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. An exquisite perfume of underbrush, charcoal, kirsch, spice box, chocolate, and espresso soars from the glass of this full-bodied claret. With low acidity for the vintage, sweet tannin, and a fleshy, multilayered mouthfeel, this decadent St.-Emilion should last longer than its precocious showing in March suggests. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.

There's loads of blackberry, vanilla bean and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and a long finish. This is polished, refined and harmonious. Best after 2011. 1,330 cases made. –JS
