Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Marchand-Tawse

Note:

More discreet but still discernible wood sets off cool, pure and elegant aromas of various red berries, lavender and a touch of freshly turned earth. The very rich big-bodied and powerful flavors possess a caressing mid-palate mouthfeel while demonstrating excellent length on the dusty, sappy and impressively long finish. This youthfully austere and very promising effort will also need extended bottle aging to shed its considerable carapace of firm tannins.
