Note di degustazione
Good dark red with ruby tones. Superripe, liqueur-like aromas of dark fruits, minerals, dried flowers and brown spices. Dense, sappy and thick but with an element of tautness provided by the wine's underlying minerality. A large-scaled Clos de la Roche in the style of the vintage, offering lightly saline flavors of currant, brown spices, roast coffee and underbrush. Finishes with a juicy, spicy whiplash of flavor and palate-staining length. A more roasted and less floral style than its 2016 sibling but there's enough energy here to support a slow evolution in bottle.

(from high-altitude vines on very shallow soil in Mont Luisants): Dark red-ruby. Purple fruits, purple flowers and crushed rock on the perfumed nose. Then plush, broad and powerful on the palate, showing surprising fleshiness but little in the way of early sweetness. A peppery quality from the high percentage of whole clusters gives this wine a distinctly taut character. Finishes with a medicinal reserve and a firm tannic spine. This will be a long ager, but it's hard to imagine that it will ever show the sex appeal of the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes. Am I underrating this?
