- It was very tight at first, but after an hour or so of air, the colour deepened. The palate was full of intricately coiled cherry and red fruit, with some stewed plum and moss on the finish. This is a really well-made wine, but it is just too young. I recommend waiting another few years, or if drinking now, give it at least an hour's decant.
This is also absolutely stunning in every respect and displays a kaleidoscopic combination that is not quite as spicy as the Clos St. Denis. However, it is earthier and almost as complex. It is immediately clear that this is a bigger and more powerful wine with outstanding mid-palate density and a huge reserve of dry extract that imparts a seductive mouth feel and mostly buffers the exceptionally firm tannic spine on the massively long finish.

Winery | This is an imposing effort that is even more imposingly structured and there is no point in buying this if you're not prepared to forget it in the back of your cellar for at least a decade, and two to three would be preferable. This is a stunner of a Clos de la Roche and it will be interesting to see which of the two Ponsot big boys is ultimately the better wine. |
