"The 2012 Clos de la Barre is going to be an outstanding example of the vintage, as it offers up a deep, pure and vibrant bouquet of apple, pear, almonds, complex, chalky minerality, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a silky sense to its structure, a lovely core, superb transparency and a very long, pure and perfectly balanced finish. This shows all of the elegance of the vintage."
