The superb aromatics of the 2003 Clos de la Roche burst with intense dark cherries and flowers. Awesomely supple and suave, this hugely generous effort slathers the palate with lush, satiny layers of red as well as black cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it also displays a long, fruit-filled finish. Surprisingly fresh and well-balanced for a 2003, it should be drunk between 2008 and 2017.
