Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Clos Saint Denis other_regions_australia dried pear(from Clos St. Denis proper). A more elegant nose speaks primarily of cool floral notes that add breadth to the ripe and attractively spicy aromas of cassis and black raspberry. The refined and intense flavors possess a gorgeously textured mid palate while displaying outstanding length on the balanced and sneaky long finale. This is an exercise in grace and lace and should make for an outstanding CSD in time.
