Vinous Neal Martin - 24 Aug 22
The 2008 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru put in a splendid showing against some serious company. Lucid in colour, it offers copious blackcurrant and bilberry fruit, a touch of iris flower, "cool" like many this vintage yet with more cohesion and intensity. No signs of any greenness here. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. Vibrant and structured, this has ample grip yet redeemed by more fruit concentration on the finish compared to some of its illustrious peers this vintage. It actually gains delineation with aeration. Magnificent.
