Clos de la Roche, Louis Jadot 2009

A beautifully complex and overtly sauvage nose speaks of plum, red currant and red berry liqueur nuances that introduce delicious, round and quite supple middle weight flavors that possess reasonably good concentration, all wrapped in a dusty and moderately austere finish that delivers excellent length. Drink 2021+.

Good medium red. Reticent nose dominated by oak today; comes off as a bit simple following the Grands-Echezeaux. Then supple, sweet and elegantly styled, with moderate complexity to the flavors of redcurrant and brown spices. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and enlivening minerality. This is purchased wine, from a single supplier in 2009.
