Deep purple/ruby-hued, the 2019 Clos Manou has a terrific bouquet of ripe red and black fruits as well as cedar pencil, savory flowers, spice box, and tobacco. Gorgeously balanced and medium to full-bodied, with ripe present tannins and both elegance and richness. It’s one heck of an impressive Médoc readers should snatch up. Il will easily keep for 10-15 years.
