CLOS DE LA ROCHE 1999 DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU |

Clos de la Roche 1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Côte de Nuits, Grand CruIn 2016, a superb roses and smoke nose. You immediately know this is a tannic, forceful wine and, on the palate, all is confirmed. Big cassis and blueberry fruit, with terrific freshness to balance the body. Immense persistence and authority on the finish. This could go for decades more as the rich liquorice amplifies over hours in the glass. Serena Sutcliffe, MW12 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
