Allen Meadows' Burghound, April 2007
In contrast to the relatively open
nose of the Bressandes, the Clos du Roi is brooding, reserved and somber
though the most black and dark berry fruit aromas are ripe and spicy and
this spice character continues onto the rich, power and robust flavors that
are supported by a balanced core of sap and an extremely firm but not hard
core of tannins. This is a big wine yet it remains relatively refined and
is clearly built for the long haul. 92-95 points
