An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed nose is still relatively primary with its combination of various red berries, earth and soft earth and leather nuances. There is excellent size and weight to the seductively rich but overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that deliver outstanding length where the only minor nit is a touch of warmth. This remains notably robust and will need at least another 5 to 10 years to arrive at its full peak. In a word, impressive. Drink: Try from 2024+
The darker-coloured 1999 Clos de la Roche has herbal, blackberry fruit scents. It is medium-bodied, foursquare, and somewhat rustic. This wine has excellent depth of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, and raspberry fruit that lead to a firm, solidly structured finish. Drink it between 2004 and 2010.
