(20% new oak): Dark red. Superb precision and lift to the aromas of boysenberry, violet and licorice. Rich, sexy and voluptuous, with its fine-grained dark fruit flavors perfectly complemented by integrated oak. Consistent from start to vibrant, rising, extremely long finish, this wonderfully perfumed Clos de la Roche should be outstanding. - Tasted December 2016 93-95 Points Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com
