Clos de la Roche 2007

A notably riper nose features more classic aromas of red and blue pinot fruit, violets, underbrush and this too offers a hint of jerky that complements the lightly spiced, rich, full and delicious medium weight plus flavors that possess an appealing textured quality to the energetic, sappy and mouth coating finish that is both balanced and impressively long. Excellent quality here and while not ultra powerful, this is certainly a step up in muscle compared to the Charmes and Mazis.

Score: 90 - 93
