Domaine Armand Rousseau Père Et Fils - Clos De La Roche 2008 (750ml)

"Bright medium red. Reticent but pure aromas of black cherry and brown spices. Richer and sweeter in the mouth than the Mazy, with strong minerality and a faintly medicinal quality. Finishes with sneaky, mounting intensity of flavor and a fairly serious tannic impression."

"A surprisingly high-toned nose of cranberry and raspberry trimmed in a bit of warm earth introduces very forward yet precise flavors that are quite round and supple yet deliver excellent authority and impressive depth on the balanced and lingering finish. This is not a big example or even especially muscular but it's harmonious and should age well. (Drink starting 2018)"
