1991 Clos de la Roche

Jacques Seysses tried to modify his vinification style to avoid the hard tannins that were a potential negative characteristic of 1991. He had some success, although these offerings are more structured and austere than most vintages of Domaine Dujac. A wine that appears to have an excellent chance of maturing gracefully is the 1991 Clos de la Roche. Deep and rich, with a meaty, mineral, and black fruit-scented nose, medium to full-body, and spicy, sweet, expansive fruit, this wine displays plenty of tannin, suggesting it should be cellared for 3-4 years, but it should age gracefully for 12-15 years.
