The Clos ’03 was glowing: it had a perfect burgundy hue with a typical Pinot red-berry nose that was enticing and filled with promise of what’s to come. I was worried that the wine might be too uni-dimensional but it wasn’t: the acidity worked hand-in-hand with the fruit to create a balanced structure. Suffice it to say, this wine is drinking beautifully now. Asked about potential for ageing, Robert gave a surprisingly high number — forty years!
