The wine is just incredible. It needs about one hour of decanting but is still very fruit forward after 8 years in bottle. High minerality, saline, cherries and strawberries. Great weight and needs another two years.

Stunning Clos de la Roche. Very fruit forward, years to go but absolutely delicious now. Black fruit and 🍒, highly perfumed. Nice acidity and salinity. Amazing burn. One of the best I have ever tasted and ready quite early.

Wine close to plateau. Very masculine, still a lot of fruit. Great bottle.

Very powerful, red fruit long finish full bodied. Last bottle should have waited longer.

This is an excellent clos de la roche. Alive, vivid, beautiful shine and full of finesse. Still very young

Relatively forward in its fruit profile with medium blue/red flavors. Acidity felt on the lower side. Crowd pleasing style.

Great wine, beautiful nose all read fruit, smooth with a long burn. Still full of baby fat, years to go.
