Clos de la Roche 2017

This is more aromatically expressive than usual with its combination of relatively elegant notes of red currant, raspberry, spice, earth and discreet floral nuances. There is once again fine volume to the detailed and muscular big-bodied flavors that display power on the palate coating, youthfully austere and very firm finish. While this could be approached after only 5-ish years, it should improve for 15+.

Score: 91 - 94
