Vinous Neal Martin - 03 Feb 26
The 2009 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an open, fleshy bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry fruit, fine delineation with touches of pine needle coming through with aeration, later white flowers. The palate has a little more maturity compared to the 2010, a little ferrous in style, surprisingly linear with great precision on the finish. Yet it does not quite deliver the bravura or the dramatics of the 2010. Drink now and over the next 15 years.
