mocha and spicy dark currant

The 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents

Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010

On the palate this is dense

2-3 decades are needed for this to really come around

Louis Jadot, Clos Roche other_regions mocha and spicy dark currantLike the Chambertin, this is both ripe and brooding with slightly riper aromas of roasted plum, black cherry and warm earth, all of which is trimmed in enough wood to notice. The caressing yet powerful big bodied flavors flash good muscle on the raspy and somewhat short if very firm finish. This may well age out, but the balance isnt nearly as well dialed in compared to the best of these grands crus.
