Intense red cherry aromas are intermingled with spices, violets, and kirsch in the nose of the medium ruby-colored 2002 Clos de la Roche. Armed with superb ripeness of fruit, impressive depth, vibrancy, and complexity, this gorgeously detailed wine coats the palate with layers of cherries, raspberries, earth, and sweet minerals that linger throughout its prolonged finish. This medium-bodied offering is classy, harmonious, and reveals loads of exceptionally well-ripened tannin. Projected maturity: 2006-2016. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
