Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a very refined bouquet that takes time to open, but it is worth the wait: blackberry, dried blood, limestone and a faint marine influence (perhaps oyster shell) -- all wonderfully delineated and controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite compact and dense at the moment, as well as very linear and precise; it is long in the mouth but not wishing to play around at the moment. Perhaps keeping its exuberance for later? This is an enigmatic Clos de la Roche this year from Lignier. (93-95)
Burghound
There is just enough reduction present to render the nose hard to read though I doubt that it will persist. The medium weight plus flavors are bigger, richer and more powerful while possessing a velvety, even lush mouth feel, all wrapped in a highly seductive, balanced and very firmly structured finale. Thanks to the fine-grained tannins this too should age well but be approachable after only 7 to 8 years of age.
