Gerard Raphet, Clos Roche Size:6x750ml where it was terrific(from a . 33 ha parcel, two thirds of which was replanted in 1982 with the remaining vines planted in the 1920s). An exuberantly spicy nose combines pretty floral and fresh red pinot fruit with floral, wood and sauvage hints. The supple medium weight flavors possess fine volume as well as excellent length if only average depth on the balanced and firmly structured finale. Patience advised in order that more complexity can develop.
