    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Clusel Roch, Côte Rôtie, 2005

    Fermented with slightly fewer stalks than usual (20%) and aged in 15% new wood, this is about as pure and honest as Côte Rôtie gets. Expressive wild fruit nose of blackberries and raspberries, this shows elegance grip and poise, a really close-knit and tight-packed wine, very intense, with a lovely balance between red and black fruits.

    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    Deep ruby. Ripe red and dark berries on the perfumed nose, and subtle floral and peppery spice qualities building in the glass. Fleshy black currant and cherry compote flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity and complemented by a violet pastille nuance. Finishes with strong, sweet persistence and a hint of fine-grained tannins.
