Jacky Truchot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2002

This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting

This is also brooding and reticent with an intensely earthy nose of both red and dark pinot fruit that is trimmed in hints of game

without any sense of heaviness

and a viscous

Fine perfumes of flowers (the name "Fleuraison" means flowering / blossoming)

black cherry

all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice

An expressive and notably more elegant than usual nose offers up notes of various red berries

this adds an extra layer of depth and concentration of flavor to the 10 Year Old

with some 35% of the volume in barrique

forest floor and humus character that some Gevrey-based wines display that adds plenty of breadth to the very fresh red currant and dark berry suffused nose

floral and really attractive with intense fruit
