CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer
(destemmed): Medium red. Subtle nose offers a sweet floral perfume. Intensely flavored and sharply delineated, showing an almost 2010-like tension to its urgent flavors of redcurrant, pepper, herbs and rose petal. Totally different in texture from the deeper-pitched Clos de la Roche. This boasts a creamy sweetness too but with juicy acidity and underlying stony minerality giving it more obvious early shape and grip. Finishes very long and minerally, with a strong but suave tannic spine. There were a lot of pink berries here, noted Barnier, but they were small and ripe.
