"he 2013 Cuvée Tardive from Clos de la Roilette is a bit more structured than the regular bottling, every bit as pure and refined, but deeper and more primary on both the nose and palate. The superb bouquet offers up a youthful mix of pomegranate, black cherries, woodsmoke, fresh thyme, dark soil tones, incipient nuttiness and a touch of discreet cedar in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still very, very primary, with a rock solid core of fruit, a fair bit of tannin on the backend and excellent focus and grip on the very long and perfectly balanced finish. All this beauty needs is some extended bottle age, as it is quite youthfully reticent today, but all of the constituent components are here for greatness down the road."
