The 1999 Rocche is rich

offering concentrated red and black currant

shaded by tobacco

powerful and serious big-bodied flavors that are constructed on a firm base of minerality while being shaped by ripe tannins on the driving

Gerard Julien, Echezeaux other_regions_australia The 1999 Rocche is rich(from a . 24 ha holding in Les Treux). An even spicier nose consists of ripe poached plum, violet, jasmine tea and sandalwood scents. There is exceptionally good richness to the concentrated, serious and muscular flavors that evidence focused power on the robust and built to age but not really austere finale. This beauty should age extremely well yet be approachable after 7 to 8 years.
