"The 2014 Clos de la Roilette “Cuvée Tardive” is a fine, fine bottle in the making, but as is customary with this cuvée, it is far more bound up in its structure out of the blocks than the regular Clos de la Roilette and will want a few years in the cellar to start to blossom. The bouquet is deep and youthfully complex, offering up scents of red and black cherries, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, violets, a touch of raw cocoa, fresh sage, peppercorn and hints of the nutskin to come with bottle age. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a lovely sense of sappiness in the core, a fair bit of well-integrated tannin, good acids and fine focus and grip on the long and still quite unevolved finish. A fine bottle in the making, but give it a bit of bottle age."
