Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015

Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015A discreet lashing of wood easily allows the equally sauvage suffused nose to display its array of various dark berries, earth, floral and soft underbrush scents. The energetic and beautifully well detailed medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the muscular finish that exhibits focused power and excellent persistence. This is one of those relatively rare wines that will age effortlessly for years yet should be enjoyable the entire way.

youthfully austere and beautifully long finish

The caressing and wonderfully vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess better mid-palate density before concluding in a lingering

This is quite floral with plenty of earth and assorted spice elements adding interest to the very fresh mix of green tea and red and dark berry fruit scents

The utterly compelling 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage and 1

soy and anise

more freshness and notes of raspberry leaf

Offering less obvious pleasure
