Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru 2013

This is notably ripe with its expressive and attractively cool nose of black cherry and raspberry, earth, floral and discreet spice elements. The palate impression is impressively rich with excellent volume along with plenty of the hallmark minerality suffusing the sleek, refined and gorgeously long if markedly firm finish. This terrific effort displays a really lovely interplay between power and finesse and I particularly like the harmony of structural elements.
