Not shockingly, this needed a sec to blow off some sulfur but was more structured than I excepted — 3 years ago
I was thrilled that my last bottle of Clos Pepe was excellent. I opened and tasted, it seemed pretty good so I did not decant but put in an aerator. At dinner it had a great nose of cedar, black cherries, cola and spice. The taste was dark plums and other dark fruits. The finish was long and very smooth. I was going to save a bit to see how it would have been the next day but drank it all but did notice the finish being not as smooth at the end. Happy I did not decant thinking now I may have missed the best part.
A lot of history will Clos Pepe and a odd connection with Paterson, NJ that started it all. I’ve never been disappointed with their PN’s and some of their oddities including Grappa. — 8 months ago
Tasted blind. Reddish tawny and young looking. Intense nose. Notes of raspberry, rhubarb, camphor, mocha, Asian spice and dark soil. Rich and intense in the mouth. We’re told this was given lots of air – which led guesses to be red burg more in the late 90s or 00’s. The reveal was exciting as none of us have had a bottle from this vigneron before. Super high quality juice, still on it’s upward climb. This juice will be around, giving pleasure to those that have it, for another decade or two and will undoubtedly improve with more age. — 5 years ago
