The 2020 Clos René has developed into a powerful, structured wine, much moreso than it was from barrel. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather and licorice are all amplified. This potent, deep Pomerol needs time to soften, that is for sure. There is a lot of wine here.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Beautiful blackberry aromas with some fresh mushroom and forest flower character. Full-bodied with fine tannins that give the wine focus and structure. It’s fresh and vibrant at the end. Very fine structure here. Very typical. Try after 2027. -JamesSuckling.com

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Clos Rene gives up earthy notes of tilled soil, truffles, and iron ore, leading to a core of baked blackberries and plum preserves. The full-bodied palate features impressive energy, with a refreshing line and soft tannins supporting the fruit through the long finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent 

Black cherries, licorice, flowers and truffle make an appearance in the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, with a lush, polished, silky, fresh palate presence which is perfect for all of its ripe, pure, energetic, red pit fruits and spice. This has really come on strong during its barrel aging. In fact, this is at the level of the older vintages from the 40s and 50s. Drink from 2024-2045.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

I loved the 2020 Clos René from barrel and it showed just as well from bottle, exhibiting a deep ruby/plum hue, notes of smoky red and black fruits, spice, and minty herbs, medium to full body, building tannins, and a great finish. It needs 3-4 years to resolve some tannins but should drink nicely over the following decade or more. It's another brilliant Pomerol in 2020. - Jeb Dunnuck
 
They love to deliver classically-styled wines from this estate, and this is very clearly a tannic-heavy, big shouldered old school Pomerol with real heart and charm. Expect plenty of blackberry, black cherry and smoked earth, edging towards austere, should be ready to go in three or four years. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
 
Blue fruits, cola and liquorice on the nose. Sharp and quite high-toned initially, a rush of bright red fruits, almost sour - raspberries, red cherries and herbal strawberries and nice floral elements. Detailed and nuanced with well integrated wood though it lacks a little substance and push on the mid-palate. Mouthwatering and has nice energy, but just lacks a little spark. -  Georgine Hindle, Decanter
 
The 2020 Clos René exhibits aromas of sweet cherries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and charming palate. It's a gourmand, expressive Pomerol that will drink well young.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
 
Dark fruit with spicy, peppery notes (see all that Malbec). Sweet-fruited on the palate, the tannins firm and assertive. Slightly chewy finish. Needs to settle but has substance.-James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.

Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.

While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)

Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."

Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.

Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.

We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.

We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
