Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 99
Ruby-red. Wild, liqueur-like aromas of raspberry, wild plum, chocolate, leather, mocha, smoke, herbs and minerals; complex and precise. Great intensity and volume in the mouth; thick, sweet and powerfully structured. A huge wine that's not currently as delineated in the middle as it is on the nose. A wave of fruit rolls over its suave tannins. Very long, slow building finish. Quintessential Clos de la Roche.
