2011 Benjamin Leroux Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

This is also quite spicy with a cool and very pure nose of plum, dried flowers, dark currant and sandalwood hints. There is excellent volume and ripeness to the delicious, muscular and imposing big-bodied flavors that are supported by phenolically mature tannins that are firm but well-integrated on the palate staining and hugely long finish. This should age well but be aware that this is best suited for those that possess the patience to wait! Tasted: Apr 15, 2013. Drink: 2026+
