" 96 points Pierre Rovani writing for the Wine Advocate: "The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Clos De La Roche has sweet black cherry, earth, and plum-like aromas. This powerful, intense, meaty wine is filled with plums, blackberries, gelatinous veal stock, and Asian spices. It is pure, muscular, dense, and profound. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018." (08/01) 92-95 points Stephen Tanzer: "Deep, saturated ruby. Knockout nose of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, violet and mocha. Superb fruit offers penetrating sweetness yet comes across as quite cool and laid-back. Atypically, this comes across as less fat than the Gevrey Combottes today, as well as less sauvage than some recent vintages of this cuvee Very tightly wrapped, with firm acidity giving the finish superb grip. The licorice character carries through in the mouth." (Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr '01)"
