From a vertical Clos de la Roche case straight from the domaine. Proof of what a great producer can do in an off year. The wine is still full of fruit, a bit stemmy but not green. Wonderful and great promise of what is to come: case 2004/5/6/8/9/10.

At a perfect stage to drink. Earth, spice, dried plums and currants, cedar, smoke and rose petals. Can easily go another 5+ years. From magnum.

Aromatically inert, pretty but not great. A little short on the finish

Truly stunning example of the dichotomy of power and grace found in Clos de La Roche. Tertiary notes are in full display, with fruit clinging on like someone riding Superman's cape. CK - thank you for sharing!

Sexy on the nose after a bit of time...a bit disjointed on the palate but still very pleasing

Love. Regardless of vintage, always a wine of the flight/night

Delicate and quite restrained nose. Good acid and a good but lean blue fruit middle. Supple fruit. Still young
