A soft perfume of honeysuckle, citronella and hazelnut with touches of lemon pledge, lime zest and baked apple - juicy flesh flavors of yellow plum and quince were followed by lip smacking citric acidity, candied ginger, slight minerality and a whisper of toasty oak spice — 4 months ago
The 1999 Clos de la Roche VV pours a slightly hazy ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe red and black fruits: raspberry, bruised strawberry, black cherry, dried red flowers, licorice, mushroom, sous bois, all spice. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and dripping with complexity. During the first couple hours, this was pretty locked up and willing to share its secrets. Towards the end of the night, this ended up being one of the wines what really started to pour it on. My favorite pairing with the boeuf Bourguignon. Drink now with some patience but better after 2029 and through 2049 with ease. — 3 months ago
Great bottle! No 🐞 problem with this one. Quite complex and in a very good way right now. — 3 months ago

Bright notes of cherry and red fruit, acidic but balanced. Great with Taiwanese food - 2003 — 5 months ago

Nice wine. Had some citrus zest to it. Balance was good. Not much oak. Paired well with richer foods — a month ago
