Notes:

Candied black cherries, cassis, and roasted oak scents can be found in the nose of the medium to full-bodied 2002 Clos de la Roche. Armed with admirable depth and intensity of fruit, this delicious wine offers lush layers of dark fruits before being overtaken by its firm tannic backbone. Times vagaries will determine if its softens and improves, potentially meriting a higher score than attributed, or hardens. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014? 89-91 points
