2022 Domaine Dujac, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 94-96

The 2022 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a little more intensity on the nose than the Clos Saint-Denis: principally black fruit laced with hints of licorice and clove and veins of blueberry and cassis. The aromatics expand with aeration, gaining vigor all the time. The medium-bodied palate has grippy tannins and quite a bold structure but may not have the precision of the very best that I have encountered. Very saline on the aftertaste – this will require time to shave its edges in bottle. [Neal Martin, 01/11/2024]
