Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015 A000001428 This is a big wine

This is a big wine even by the outsized standards of a great Clos de la Roche yet the balance is faultless

when it's good it's very good but I've now had too many disappointing bottles not to be wary

The acidity seems reasonable but on the lower side

honeycomb and antique furniture

black cherry and discreet earth nuances to be appreciated

Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015 A000001428 This is a big wineA discreet lashing of wood easily allows the equally sauvage suffused nose to display its array of various dark berries, earth, floral and soft underbrush scents. The energetic and beautifully well detailed medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the muscular finish that exhibits focused power and excellent persistence. This is one of those relatively rare wines that will age effortlessly for years yet should be enjoyable the entire way.
