Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A well-layered and dense nose features notes of anise, earth, underbrush, violets and both red and blue pinot fruit aromas. There is very good volume to the large-scaled and dense yet quite supple flavors that possess excellent length. This is impeccably well-balanced and should require 15 years or so to arrive at its peak. Score: 92 - 94 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2025+ 10 January 2012 |

The 2010 Clos de la Roche is fascinating to taste after the Mazis. The Clos de la Roche is all about power, structure and length, qualities it has in spades. There is huge depth and serious extract to the fruit, with equally big tannins to provide support. Layers of intense fruit are intermingled with persistent saline notes on the vibrant, finely chiseled finish. It will take years for the tannins to start melting away, but when they do the 2010 will be a dazzling wine. Actually, it already is. (94-96+ Points) Score: 94 - 96 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2030-2050 23 December 2011 |
