Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
Melted road tar, incense, licorice and black stone fruits are some of the notes that emerge from the 2011 Clos de La Roche. Even with all of its obvious size and heft, the Clos de La Roche remains exceptionally elegant. Layers of dark, balsamic-infused fruit build to the intense, enveloping finish. The 2011 was vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in 50% new oak.

Scented and sinewy. Not a knockout drop by any means. But solid and firm and excellent structure. Opens out on the end. Promising. (JR)
