2022/7/12-14. Compared to the Joseph Colin Compendium, this was a bit fatter, richer and showed more oak influence (though certainly not excessive in that regard). There’s more smoky mineral in the nose - perhaps a bit of reduction as well - and a bit more juice and depth to the fruit. A few years to integrate more could make it even better. — 4 years ago

04 drinking beautifully! These slightly off vintages really show the place and backbone profiles of these wines as nothing masks it. Dry roses and pitted red fruit with elegance and integrated tannins and acidity. Lovely drink. They have it as a Clos de la Roche bug it's a Clos St Denis! — 11 years ago

Slight reduction. Lemon curd, Granny Smith apple, grilled pineapple and ripe mango flavors. Subdued mineral presence, hints of toast and caramel. Not the raciest representation of Saint Aubin, but certainly a killer value. Lovely, balanced and bright- and only gets better after a day or even two. — 8 years ago

A Saint-Joseph party 🎉🍷wine! Wildly smellicious. Bloody animal carcass, pink grapefruit rind, uncracked peppercorns, cracked stones, hint of milk chocolate. Smooth, velvety soft, and gluggable texture. Not super concentrated, but plenty flavorful enough. Blood-soaked salty rocks, peppercorns, and some alien form of wild dark berries. No structure for aging, but funky fun right now. — 9 years ago

Alec Seysses is a big believer in his ‘06, says it’s better than the ‘05. Still, a group at our table found the intensity of the ‘10 made it the Clos de la Roche to put away. The ‘09 was related by Seysses as their first vintage with over-ripening concerns, however deftly handled. The ‘14 had large support as delicious and most enjoyable at present. Ripe, dense, and quite open was the ‘19 with a huge future. The ‘17 Clos de la Roche was also served. Sneaking into the picture, and maybe my favorite of the night, was the ‘17 Clos Saint-Denis (see score). — 4 years ago

14.3% ABV.
I’ve always had difficulties understanding how (some) critics can compare this to Burgundy.
Clos Saint-Denis or Clos de la Roche? For real?

I understand preference and reference points but enough with the nonsense.
This is uniquely California.
And as such it is STELLAR. — 8 years ago

20170404. With AMB. Really straigtht in the beginning! But deeper and wider flavor showing suddenly. Storage temp ca 5-7C might be fine. Yes, in a tasting even in lower temp, we can enjoy straight going. Once reaching to the end of mouth, temp slightly increases, then flavor extrude!! — 9 years ago
