1999 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy (1) 96/100 Robert Parker The Wine Advocate John Gilman, View From the Cellar (64), August 2016 In a great vintage like 1999, it is not surprising that the Dujac Clos de la Roche is a marvelous wine. Like so many of the top grand crus from this vintage, this is still on the young side, and despite it being quite accessible today, it makes far more sense to keep it tucked away in the cellar for at least a few more years and let more of the secondary layers of complexity fully emerge. The bouquet is deep and very fine, but still a tad primary in personality, wafting from the glass in a blend of black cherries, plums, venison, chocolate, marvelous soil tones, a touch of the cinnamon that is coming and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, fullbodied and sappy at the core, with superb focus and grip, impeccable balance and a very long, still moderately tannic, albeit utterly seamless finish. This is a great wine in the making, but it is still a puppy and I would leave it in the cellar for many more years to come and let it start hitting on all cylinders before broaching it in earnest. 2025-2075+. Perfectly stored since purchase in a specially built temperature controlled wine room
