The dark ruby-colored, smoked bacon and spice-scented 1999 Clos de La Roche is a sexy, medium to full-bodied wine. Loads of spices, candied cherries, stones, juniper berries, and plums can be found in its deep, satin-textured character. It is exceptionally long and possesses loads of prodigiously ripened tannin.
