Boasting an intense nose of pit fruits and spices, the 2000 Clos de la Roche explodes on the palate revealing layers of sweet red fruits, juniper berries, cloves, and pepper. It is medium-bodied, powerful, highly concentrated, and possesses a length, fruit-filled finish. This wine is regal and exhibits considerable depth. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
