Nicolas Potel, Clos Roche Vintage:2006 palate-staining black raspberry and mulberry

palate-staining black raspberry and mulberry flavors are framed by velvety tannins and become spicier and more energetic on the back end

lemon grass and acacia blossom precede highly energetic and more mineral-driven if less concentrated and powerful middle weight flavors that possess a highly refined and sophisticated texture

This is their warmest single-vineyard with very fine tannins

rich and firmly structured flavors that are bigger than what I usually find with Feusselottes

Palate-staining blackberry

Nicolas Potel, Clos Roche Vintage:2006 palate-staining black raspberry and mulberryA flat out gorgeous nose features violets, red pinot fruit and black berry notes trimmed in a deft touch of wood that gives way to rich, full and sweet flavors that possess unusually good detail, all wrapped in a powerful, deep and exceptionally long finish. This is also impeccably well balanced and should improve for at least a decade. (92 94) 2015+
