Tasting Notes

My original note still accurately characterizes this impressive wine and it's developing nicely save for the fact that I believe that it will require another 2 to 3 years beyond my original cask estimate to arrive at full maturity. Still, this is a very impressive wine and a Clos de la Roche with perhaps a bit more elegance and finesse than usual. Otherwise, the original note, reproduced here, stands: Powerful and dense aromas of earth, black and red fruit plus subtle notes of soy, coffee and hoisin explode from the glass that merge seamlessly into bigger, richer, rounder and more muscular flavors. Authoritative, gorgeously textured and very stylish with pronounced tannic structure and plenty of buffering sap. Impressive and extremely long, this will require at least a decade of bottle age to reach maturity.
