2007 Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru...$799.99 / 1.5 liter
One Rare Magnum available
Good full red. Very ripe aromas of black cherry, blackberry, spices, mocha, menthol and licorice. Broad, silky and sweet, offering a rich, layered texture without any impression of weight. For all its sweetness, this is also quite penetrating, not to mention gripping on the long, powerful finish, even if it gives a much lower impression of acidity than the young 2008. Finishes very long, with seamless, sweet tannins.
Rated 94/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media
1998 Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru...$849.99 / 1.5 liter
Deep, bright red-ruby color. Knockout nose combines roasted plum, currant, bitter chocolate, roast coffee and clove. Silky and mouthfilling, with a compelling, penetrating sweetness. Has huge extract to buffer the strong but ripe tannins. Very long, slow-mounting finish saturates the entire palate. A superb vintage for this wine, but this '98 will require a good eight to ten years of patience.-- Stephen Tanzer
