The 1993 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is another real success, wafting from the glass with complex aromas of rose petals, dried berries, plums, confit orange, exotic spices, musk and orris root (the dried iris rhizome, somewhat reminiscent of violets). Full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's deep, layered and vibrant, with melting tannins and a cool core of fruit, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It's more elegant and aromatic than the rich, fleshy 1999 or the ripe, broad-shouldered 1990.
