Community Tasting Note

William Kelley Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 7, 2015 - Jeremy Seysses opined that the 1978 Dujac Clos de la Roche is probably just beginning to pass its apogee, but it clearly attained considerable heights, because it remains a very formidable bottle of red Burgundy. A fully mature and expressive nose includes notes of autumn leaves, roast squab, subtle leather bitter chocolate, dried fruit and black tea—a melange of kaleidoscopic complexity. On the palate the wine is full, ripe and intense, with a bright core of acidity and a long, gamey finish. While this is now decidedly tertiary, Jeremy mentioned that until very recently it had retained vivid dark fruit, which must have made for a pretty extraordinary wine!
