supple and elegant with fine tannins

Tasted at a private Clos de Tart dinner in London

and the aromatic intensity is well developed and capped by a mid-weight finish

but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity

2016 Clos de la Roche, Grand Cru, Olivier Bernstein, Burgundy UOM supple and elegant with fineMedium deep colour, offering rather less on the nose than its stablemates. The oak is evident a bit on the palate but there is also a marvellous swelling of bright red fruit, then a briary note. Few tannins, easy of access and persistent, not quite the grip of some years. Slight youthful bitterness. Not easy to taste today though the raw material is there. Tasted Oct 2017. Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
