Robert Parker (89)

From the lower edge of that cru, the Arlaud 2006 Clos De La Roche smells of wood smoke, sage, sassafras, resin, and dark cherry. Expansive and mouth-coating, it seems just a bit shallow by comparison with the best wines of the vintage at this address; then comes back with a hint of tannic roughness. This appears to be suffering from a bit of reduction, but as it takes on air it becomes evident that its abundance of herbal, carnal, and black fruit elements have the potential to shape themselves into something memorable. Certainly the wine's sheer persistence is impressive. I suspect it will prove itself a good candidate for following over the better part of a decade.

An earthy, ripe, expressive and more complex nose combines dark berry fruit and notes of earth, spice, leather and underbrush that highlight the complex, concentrated and round flavors that possess solid if not truly sensational power and fine balance on the exquisitely long finish. This is clearly a step up in quality.
