Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - Three Boston Dinners; 8/17/2014-8/19/2014 (The Hub): Deep ruby with only the barest fading at the very edge. Exciting, promising nose on first pour with quite confectionary red fruit accompanied by licorice and herb, but this became more reticent. Full feel with an oaky foundation that grew over time. Pungent red fruit that is more tart and less ripe than than the aromatics suggest with a dash of earth eventually showing up. Strong acidity and not unduly tannic at this point. Clearly very young and in evolution. More briary and overtly woody than some of the silkier Dujac Clos de la Roche I've had. I'm not sure where it will wind up, but while powerful, it is certainly not great at this point. If I owned it, I would hold it at least through its 20th birthday and hope for more resolution and sense of delicacy.
