2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru David Duband, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, David Duband

This is also markedly floral in character though without the broad range of spice elements to the softly earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas. The fleshy yet precise and highly energetic medium weight flavors flash a noticeable minerality on the more refined but not necessarily more complex finish. Once again there is a niggling hint of dryness that isn't really enough to detract materially from the overall appeal despite the balance not being quite completely dialed in. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019
