Tasting notes
Ponsot’s 1983 Clos de la Roche offered more advanced suggestions of coffee beans and spices with gorgeous depth to its fruit and a somewhat rustic, yet pleasing, personality.

The 1983 is in the same class as the staggering 1980, only this wine is more powerful (the alcohol is 14.5%) and denser. It simply must be tasted to be believed. This is an old heavyweight style of red burgundy that no one but Ponsot produces anymore. It should be mature by 1995 and last at least another decade.
