Clos de la Roche, Domaine Dujac 2010

An intensely floral nose features notes of rose petals and lavender along with cool red berry fruit liberally laced with wet stone nuances. The taut and muscular broad-scaled and concentrated flavors are precise, intense and explosively long on the focused and stunningly persistent finish that is youthfully austere and breathtakingly intense. This faultlessly well-balanced but very firm effort will require extended cellaring and 15 to 20 years is probably what the structure will require to completely resolve.

A very fresh, medium-deep red, the bouquet surprisingly appearing more restrained than the 2009. Nonetheless there is glorious balanced sweet ripe dark raspberry fruit right across the palate, covering the tannins, offering truly fine balance. Heady, balanced, dancing, and very long. ***** 5 star wine
