Traditional dark fruits combine with a complex herbal element with notes of mint and
jasmine. Violets are also evident lifting the overall aromatic intensity, highlighting
secondary characters such as cigar box, choc mint, leather, graphite and a faint red
candy lift. Chocolate pudding and red fruits fill the front and middle of the palate
leading to a spice driven back palate. Savoury elements provide the shade along the
sides with black pepper and mint intermingled throughout. As is the case with all
Clos Otto vintages, layer upon layer of soft velvet like tannin fill every hole on the
palate providing outstanding length and texture. Rich, complex, balanced, elegant and
powerful all wrapped up in one wine! – Winemaker Andrew Quin
