"L'Enclos 2014 offers a dense bouquet that opens slowly in the glass, revealing aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry and leather that should become more pronounced as the bottle ages. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There's plenty of dark fruit surrounded by sage and cloves, gently unfolding to a stylish, slightly austere but persistent finish." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker) Wooden case delivery on orders of 6 bottles of this wine.
