Dujac, Clos de la Roche 1997

1.5cm

Tasted blind, this wine had a deep red/purple center with red rims. The medium+ intensity nose offered up plums, sour cherries, tan spices, and minerals. In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe with light rounded tannin, light integrated acidity, and excellent length. It was quite intense and complex. This bottle exhibited all the great complexity that one expects from Dujac, given the awesome nose these wines have, but don't always get. Very impressive and should hold at this level for at least 10 years. 3/20/2021

Sunday heaters (Chicago, IL): Expectations were tempered because of the vintage, but boy was I wrong on this one. This is a seriously successful iteration even without the qualifier "for the vintage." Classic Dujacky spice on the nose as well as whiffs of sweet (but drying) fruit and some classic Burgundian earthiness. Plenty spicy on the palate as well with a surprising freshness to the fruit here. No stewy, rotten, or otherwise off flavours here. This is totally clean -- I would never have pegged the vintage if served this blind. A fantastic bottle. 7/4/2021
