Community Tasting Note

• campingfleurie Likes this wine: 89 points

  June 5, 2013 - [NB, this cuvee is labelled just "La Roche" on the bottles I've seen...] At diverse blind tasting. Nose is lower-toned but distinctly complex: softening red cherry, with the leaves attached; shading towards muskiness - it fuzzes nicely. Also some dried florality, earth, and oak in a slight-caramel vein. In the mouth, just above medium scale. Pepper and some raspberry jam. Lower acid than ideal. Needs to be cooler: could star cellar-cool. Throughout the tasting it stayed good: didn't betray Gamay artificial tones in comparisons. The fuzzing grew; natural and good. First comment from L was than maybe from the Cote-de-Nuits. These Jadot MaV often show like that. '06 responsible for relative lightness of concentration. At the start of a drinking window; if one that won't be for more than 3-4 years due to the relatively low acid. Edges to 89 pts now... with 92 reasonably likely, soon, served cooler.
