"An intensely sauvage nose that remains fresh and bright but with distinct forest floor and game nuances that also run through the rich, full and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess good power and weight on the dusty, mouth coating and impressively persistent finale. Lovely and while not a truly large-scaled Clos de la Roche, this definitely enjoys grand cru focus and punch. In the context of one of the longest lived of the grands crus, this should be relatively precocious, which is to say give it a try in 10 to 12 years."
