1983 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

The Clos de la Roche is undoubtedly very good, but rather closed, quite tannic, and unyielding. It should be given until 1990-1992 It is no secret that this estate did not have the success in 1983 that one might have expected. Jacques Seysses was apprehensive about the rampant rot in the vineyards and pulled the skins off the macerating grape juice very quickly in order to avoid the taste of rot in his wines.
