2018 Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche MCMLV #127538472
Wine Advocate
Reviews 95-97 points Wine Advocate "A magical bottle in the making, for anyone able to find one, the wine offers up a deep bouquet of cassis, wild blueberries and cherries, complemented by hints of smoked meats, peonies and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's both more intense and livelier than the domaine's regular—and formidable—Clos de la Roche, structured around rich, powdery tannin and concluding with a long, mineral finish. (WK)" 96 points John Gilman "The bouquet is precise and bottomless, offering up scents of black plums, black cherries, venison, espresso, woodsmoke, a very complex base of soil, mustard seed and a deft touch of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and a bit more mineral in personality out of the blocks than the regular Clos de la Roche, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and stunning length and grip on the very, very promising finish. (JG)"
