This day has come! I tasted a bottle of Clandestin in a sober state. The wine's nose is generously oxidative, showcasing a complex blend of Jerez, baked apples, and honey, intertwined with the comforting aromas of croissants and a hint of chalk. On the palate, the wine strikes a harmonious balance, demonstrating intensity and a pleasing acidity, although it still reveals its youth. While the aftertaste might taper off a bit sooner than expected, the overall impression of the bottle is one of skilled craftsmanship. It serves as an excellent kickoff to a memorable evening.
