La Clotte’s 2006 is a sexy, dense, deep ruby/purple-hued wine possessing plenty of black cherry and black raspberry fruit, hints of licorice and dusty, loamy soil, and subtle background oak. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied with a distinct earthy component in the mid-palate, this is a lush, succulent St.-Emilion that is meant to be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life.
