Grand Cru Clos Saint Denis, Louis Jadot, 2012

Here the nose is quite similar to that of the Clos de la Roche save for the fact that it's spicier. There is a silky texture to the detailed and sleekly muscular medium-bodied flavors that are not as powerful though the refinement of a classic Clos St. Denis is explicitly in evidence on the hugely long finish. In a word, this is terrific.
