Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2013

An unusually high-toned nose is comprised of a pretty array of red berry fruit, earth and Asian-style tea nuances. There is really lovely detail and vibrancy to the middle-weight flavours that exude a fine bead of minerality on the restrained and lingering finish. This delivers surprisingly good flavour authority given that this is not nearly as concentrated as the best in the range. In sum, this is a beautifully well-delineated wine of harmony if not power that should reward mid to longer-term aging as the supporting tannins are also dense but fine.
