Note di degustazione
The 1999 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an intense nose, a mixture of red and black fruit intermingling with white pepper and clove. Perhaps this is not quite as complex as I expected. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, red cherries mixed with black plum, fine acidity, slightly brawny in style but you cannot help taking another sip.

Brilliant ruby red and classic Clos de la Roche character with its mix of black and red fruit, rich flavors, sleekly muscular tannins and intense goût de terroir. The power and lushness of fruit is slightly reminiscent of a great Musigny. This has added weight and depth since barrel and is nothing short of sensational. Drink: 2012-2025
The 1999 Clos de La Roche is the darkest of Lignier's offerings, verging on being dark ruby-colored. It exhibits a black cherry, blackberry, licorice, and violet-scented nose that leads to its explosive, immensely flavorful character. Medium to full-bodied and pure, this fresh, sweet wine is packed to the gills with cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Ample yet highly delineated, it has a magnificently long, fruit-filled finish. Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990.
Saturated ruby-red. Complex, deeply pitched aromas of raspberry, currant, cocoa, nuts and spices; the nose hints at the great sweetness to come. Then impressively sweet and dense in the mouth, with compelling purity of fruit and superb concentration for the vintage. The flesh partly hides this wine solid underlying backbone. The tannins inexorably coat the entire palate on the long, slow-mounting finish.
