Domaine Dujac Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru

Dark bright red. Red berries, flowers, iron, minerals and earthy porcini on the precise nose. Fine-grained, sweet and youthfully restrained, showing superb sappy energy but with red fruits and flowers in the deep background today. This elegant wine is most impressive on the reverberating back end, which features complex pepper, herb and rose petal lift and superb eclat. But in a shell today and in need of six to eight years of patience. Score - 93 (+?). (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Jan./Feb. 2013)
