Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 96
The 1993 Clos de la Roche Cuvee Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru comes from one of my favorite vintages and is showing beautifully. Quintessential Clos de la Roche with ebullient red fruit, sage, hints of menthol and a touch of undergrowth, this conveys more complexity than either the preceding bottles of 2005 or 1999. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins, superb salinity and freshness, almost citric-like with so much energy and tension on the persistent finish. Typical of this vintage, this is a Clos de la Roche you want to drink down to the last drop. Superb. Tasted at Ponsot’s 150th anniversary vertical at the Domaine.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045
