The nose offers flashes of perfect fruit and faint smoke. Mineral, wide and with good acidity – there’s almost a salty ‘tang’ to the very long finish finish. More power and minerality than the Clos St.Denis, but less comfortingly fruity.

2007 Potel Nicolas Clos de la Roche
A little more aromatic width than the Clos St.Denis, but the core of fruit is tighter – initially impresses more than the last wine, but in the end is pipped by the former. Sweet, ripe, intense and very long. I normally prefer CSD, but today, maybe not. This is very long with just a hint of metallic flavour in the finish – surely just a phase. Excellent.
