My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…

The nose is a little dull, but shows beautiful, floral & slightly candied red fruits. Dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate syrup, raspberries and blueberry hues. Understated, dark, rich earth, very soft baking spices and dark, red, florals framed in violet potpourri.

The palate entry is wonderful. Ripe, juicy; dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate reduction, raspberries and blueberry hues. Understated, dark, rich earth, baking spices-cinnamon stick, clove, light nutmeg vanillin, sandalwood to light cedar shavings, caramel, touch of toffee, dry tree bark w/ a touch of moss covered in sap, red & mid berry licorice/cola, dark, the red, florals framed in amazing violets are exquisite, perfect acidity with an elegant, balanced finish that lasts nearly two-minute.

92+ with a bit more time. It just lacks more depth for a higher score. But hard not to drink now. Good value here at $59.99.

Dark garnet color with ruby highlights. Aromas of sour black cherries, forest floor and wet soil. Flavors of blackberry, black currants, blueberry and black licorice. Long and lasting finish. Soft tannins and solid balance. Nothing over the top, but an enjoyable and quaffable wine. — a month ago

The Clos du Roy has been around ever since the dukes of Burgundy, residing in nearby Dijon, documented, and drank in its virtues.
Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and earthy tones, aged for 14 months in 30% new oak. On the palate flavors of berry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Soft fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character. — a month ago

Med aroma, med+ flavors of strawberry red currants; vibrant acidity, not much in the way of tropical notes, not that there should be. Delightful. — 4 months ago
