2015 Clos de la Roche

(from a .33 ha parcel, two-thirds of which was replanted in 1982 with the remaining vines planted in the 1920s). A much more deeply pitched nose features notes of dark currant, plum, violet and a hint of game. There is both a bit more volume and richness to the delicious and attractively textured flavors that possess focused power and solid punch on the lingering finish that is shaped by firm tannins. This should be approachable young, yet age well too. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
