The 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has black spicy fruit, a little metallic perhaps at this early juncture, that actually dissipates with aeration. The palate is succulent and plush in the mouth, quite an extravagant palate with thickly layered blackberry and boysenberry fruit and a touch of salinity on the finish. Excellent - this could be one of the most long-aging wines from Benjamin this year.
