"The 2014 Clos de la Roilette âCuvĂ©e Tardiveâ is a fine, fine bottle in the making, but as is customary with this cuvĂ©e, 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."
