Tasting notes
Impressive blackberry and raspberry fruits as well as peppery garrigue and assorted meaty, almost bloody notes emerge from the 2019 La Clape La Falaise. A rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced and elegant red, it should drink nicely right out of the gate yet also evolve for 7-8 years, if not a decade.

Full bottle 1,406 g. Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah. NHB. Damsons steeping in rooibos tea, rose-hip jelly, smoky bacon. So many layers in this powerful wine with its tannins of rippling thoroughbred muscle and deep-throated dark fruit. There’s a deep salty intensity that tastes of jamón ibérico, a sweetness that tastes of dried cranberries, a cumin-seed and peppercorn spiciness, garrigue wildness. Superb. (TC)
