2007 Clos de la Roche

Palish medium red. Raspberry aroma perked up by orange peel and brown spices. Supple, sweet and suave, with a lightly saline quality and moderate depth and complexity. Finishes with even tannins and decent length. This can be drunk now. The Arlauds did less pigeage here in 2007 to maintain elegance, but I don't sense the hidden dimension that a young grand cru should have.
