2012 Pousse d’Or Clos de la Roche Grand cru

“(Landanger’s holding is in the middle of the cru): Medium-deep red. Ripe black raspberry, smoky minerality, mocha and animal fur on the inviting nose. Plush, sweet and horizontal; wonderfully rich, broad, palate-coating flavors of minerals, smoke, chocolate and savory brown spices. A voluptuous, varietally expressive Clos de la Roche with noble tannins, great sappy energy and outstanding echoing length.” 95 points Steve Tanzer
