Critic Notes
Gentle but not invisible wood frames agreeably spicy red and black currant, earth and subtle game hints. There is plenty of volume to the solidly structured and powerful large-bodied flavors that possess plenty of tannin-buffering dry extract, all wrapped in a firm, balanced, complex and impressively long finish. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2024+
Score: 91-94/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound
The 2012 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a very fragrant, perfumed bouquet with brambly black fruit, cold stone and perhaps a tincture of black olive. The definition is fine – worthy of a grand cru like this. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, surprisingly sharp opening, the acidity higher than I was expecting, although that lends it fine tension and focus. It is just missing a little complexity and nuance toward the chalky, saline finish, although that might develop in bottle. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
