Clos de la Roche

2007 Dujac Clos de la Roche

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.

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.

Medium, medium-plus colour. A good width of aromas – mineral mixing with high tones. Plenty of structure here, and an excellent burst of interest in the mid-palate. Slowly lingering, this is a very good wine.
