“A masterful rendition of the Clos de la Roche, made at the expense of
tiny yields (9hl/ha). The dark plummy fruit is a bit closed and tightly
wound up with hints of mineral and earth, but it will doubtless unspool
in the bottle with time. The feel on the palate is similarly a bit hard,
but there is dense extract here along with firm tannic structure and
impressive length. With a bit of coaxing in the glass one sees the great
potential of this vintage."
