Tasting notes
The 1988 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru came with high expectations, yet this bottle failed to deliver the goods. Mature in color, it has a very floral and tempting nose. However, the palate is grippy and a bit gawky, as if the whole bunch element has never fully assimilated. My feeling is that they may be better bottles than this. Tasted at the La Paulée in Beaune.

This wine reveals attractive mineral, dried herb, tobacco, and red currant aromas, but on the palate, it becomes austere and angular, with its acidity and alcohol pushing through the thin veneer of fruit. Drink it up.
