Moving to the 2017, and more structured and tannic, the 2017 Cotes Du Rhone Lieu-Dit Clavin reveals a deep purple color as well as classic notes of black licorice, blackcurrants, ground pepper, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, with plenty of tannins yet beautiful fruit, it needs 2-4 years of bottle age, but it's beautiful stuff and I'd wager one of the best Cotes Du Rhone out there.
