Palate-staining blackberry

There is again very good intensity to the bigger-bodied and more muscular medium weight plus flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract on the moderately austere

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

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

Drink it now through 2014

Nicolas Potel, Clos Roche Vintage:2006 Palate-staining blackberryA 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+
