Clos de la Roche, Grand Cru, 2012

Full medium red. Primary, peppery aromas of redcurrant, briary strawberry, mocha and brown spices. At once supple and high-pitched on the palate, showing intense berry, menthol and spice flavors accented by floral pastilles. This sappy, chewy, deep wine projects an impression of weightlessness. My sample expanded impressively with 48 hours in the recorked bottle while retaining its light touch.
