Tasting notes
Medium red. Deep, exotic aromas of cherry skin, cocoa powder, brown spices, humus and faded rose; this smells like dessert! Superconcentrated, velvety and sweet, with a roasted ripeness and flavors bordering on exotic. Gives a slightly oxidative impression initially and yet this amazingly silky, creamy wine was fresher 48 hours later from the recorked bottle. A feminine and distinctly voluptuous wine with plenty of acidity and underlying structure. Like a liqueur of Clos de la Roche.

Red-ruby. Superripe nose of berries, minerals and flowers. Wonderfully sweet fruit complicated by subtle minerality. A classy style of Clos de la Roche with delicious fruit and a light touch. Builds slowly and mounts impressively on the finish, which shows a youthful tannic firmness.
