1985 Clos La Roche, Dujac
Medium garnet. An intense and complex nose of raspberry, dried rose petals, long jing tea, smoke, mushroom, sous-bois, coriander seeds, leather and gamey notes. A sweetness greets you on entry, slowly coating the palate with silky tannin and intense flavours, lifted by lively acidity. Impressive freshness, concentration, depth and persistence, with a finish that goes on and on. A head-turning wine that embodies harmony, elegance, finesse and the sophistication of that uber class of great Burgundies. A wine that seduces you from the very first sip. Enjoy now at its apogée and probably for another decade.
The bottle disappeared rather quickly - it was simply irresistible. 19.5/20
