Laboure-Roi Labouré-Roi Clos de la Roche, France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

an amazing bottle with lots of life still in it, I missed the vintage by 10 years as the color was vibrant and even some heat was detected. However, I nailed the Village because of the aroma profile. A classic Grand Cru and highly recommended, however, the market may not have amny of these left.

Clos de la Roche exploration. (Winil - Moscow, Russia) : 🏅Rating 92/100 (4,2) Large Negociant eleveur from NSG. When opened, was bit off & seemed down the hill. After some air showed good concentration of fruits. Good 1er Cru level. If tasted blind could be guessed as Barolo - dried rose, tar, sour cherry, quite tannic.
