The 2014 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru appears to offer more finesse and cohesion on the nose when compared to its Clos Saint Denis sibling. It seems to shimmer in the glass, vivid and vivacious. The palate is supple in the mouth with hints of orange sorbet infusing the pure red berry fruit, the acidity well judged and a very harmonious, silky smooth finish lingers long in the mouth. This is an excellent Clos de la Roche in the making, hopefully in the same vein as the outstanding 2005 that I tasted just a couple of days after my visit.- Neal Martin (04/2016)
Bright, full red. Musky red berries, espresso, licorice, brown spices and black pepper on the sexy nose. Plush, fat, spicy and concentrated, with its sweet red berry flavors lifted by a spice element and framed by brisk acidity. Energetic, saline and taut but with a thickness of texture from the outset. Finishes with spicy, palate-coating tannins and excellent rising length. This has a lovely balance even today, not to mention superb energy. Easier to taste than the CSD as it's less reduced.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2017)
