Thanks for the tip, Julian. It looks like a nicer price too.

I think a better bet for all-purpose drinking is the less expensive bottle from Clos Triguedina, the Chateau de Flore, which the estate launched precisely because of the bigness of its other wines. http://www.bubblebrothers.com/proddetail.php?prod=TRIG08. It can be drunk much younger than the Clos wines, with a Merlot component to boost the fruit, and not so much tannin at all as its big cousins. It does benefit from plenty of breathing though – often much more expressive the next day after opening.

Tried this one at the weekend. It needed a couple of hours of breathing and then it was okay – wasn’t as tannic anymore as at the start when the bottle was just opened. The aroma developed much to its benefit. I had some lovely cheese with it and late at night it was a lovely comfort (feet up and a good book – what more does a lady want these days ;-) )
It might improve a lot when stored for a couple of years. I don’t think it will be one of my favourites tho.
