A rare wine 98 RP wine from Clos Mogador we grabbed at the winery for €180 that’s needs a big decant to free the powerful yet elegant complexities that stir within 😍 still totally overpriced I think 🤔

As long as its been since I’ve had a bottle of the Clos Mogador Nelin and much as I love it, with the heat, I’ve been looking forward to a glass of BSR all day. It never disappoints!!!

Always so fresh, consistent and delicious. The delicate pink rose petals, lean fruits of; strawberries, cherries, black cherries, less ripened watermelon, tangerine & touch of ripe peach. Medium intensity of volcanic minerals, sea shells/spray, razor sharp, smooth, grainy, chalkiness, beautiful acidity and long, rich, lush finish that goes on & on. — 8 years ago
