TN:2005 Potel Clos de la Roche

I was trying this out because I wanted to see if it was ok.
( I know. A lame excuse.)

2005 Potel Clos de la Roche.

Young pinot. Amazing future. Infinite length.
Profound.

I like Potel. Good wines at most prices points.

don i think it is time you modify the profound scale

it seems a little binary for me

like a buzzini 99


try the KA scale.
at least there is a step up from staggering.

maybe you add epic. it doesn’t seem to have a home yet

potel is good though. i got some of those gaudy chotes in 05 that will sleep for a lot longer than your CdlR did

Rob,

Oooh!
Gaudichots in 2005.
I bet that will be good. Like La Tache in a few years I would bet.

I will work on my scale.
It does need some revamping.
See you soon I hope.

Thanks for the thoughts. Glad you have the option to try it out :smiley: I enjoy Potel the wines are gaining a place in my locker.

Sounds good Don. Didn’t buy much '05 Potel. Mostly mags of lower tier stuff for bargain basement prices from Premier Cru. Shoulda bought some Clos de la Roche, I guess…

Thanks Don. I will try to keep my hands off.

Nice, I’ve got some Potel lying around, thanks for the data point. I’ll know not to hit it for a while.

Don, thanks for the Potel note. You should open a 1er Cru from the 90’s to make up for drinking this so early…

Just picked up a 2000 Potel Charmes-Chambertin last night. Will give it a try soon.
