2012 Marchand Tawse, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1x75cl

Burghound – 91-94

This is aromatically similar to the Clos St. Denis except for the presence of plenty of sauvage character and a more pronounced earthiness. As one would reasonably expect there is more size, weight, richness and power to the big-bodied flavors that possess very solid volume on the balanced and impressively persistent finish. There is fine depth and this should amply repay medium to longer-term cellaring. [15/01/2014]
