Quinault l'Enclos Vintage:2000 dark raspberry and earth that

dark raspberry and earth that is trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out

meaty nuances on the nose

Hints of oak toast don’t materially detract from the otherwise wonderfully fresh and cool aromas of green apple

This bottle was popped and poured

Quinault l'Enclos Vintage:2000 dark raspberry and earth thatPowerful and textured, velvety and packed with black fruits on the attack. This was the start of serious changes in Quinault, bought in 2008 by Bernard Arnault and Albert Frre, but this is still in the old school mould, and it's rather fascinating to be reminded of how different its personality was at the time. It is sexy and unabashed and gives clear chocolate and damson puree, ready for pleasure. Will make an impact when put on a table with friends
