Potel's saturated ruby-colored 1997 Clos de la Roche displays floral, cassis, and rose-scented aromatics. Currants, black cherries, and metal-like flavors are found in this medium-to-full-bodied wine. Highly expressive, bright, and well-structured, this effort also possesses a firm, tannic backbone that will require patience. Projected maturity: 2003-2008.
