Michel Magnien, Clos Roche Vintage:2010 comparing it to the 2017

comparing it to the 2017 it does not quite have the same tension and mineralité

one of the genuinely wonderful aspects of this wine in 2012 is the textured

Marengos property

perhaps displaying more definition to the dusky black fruit

with concentration and freshnesswhat you're aiming for in a wine like this where pure power might be too much

Michel Magnien, Clos Roche Vintage:2010 comparing it to the 2017This is more complex if not quite as elegant with a densely fruited nose of red current and cherry, strong earth notes and a hint of the vegetal that slide into rich, supple and relatively round, even generous medium plus weight flavors where the supporting structural elements are quite tight but well integrated. Very good if not great. (90 92) 2016+
