Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Clos Vieux Taillefer waltzes out of the glass with compelling scents of stewed black cherries, crushed blueberries and boysenberries, plus suggestions of iron ore, fertile loam and candied violets. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully soft and juicy fruited, delivering great tension and purity, finishing on a peppery note.
