The Lignier Clos de la Roche 1996 is a magnificent effort and is now fulfilling the great promise it showed in its youth. More forward than the bottle I tasted in 2014 ... showing beautifully. In the nose layers of airy red berry fruit infused with delicate sous-bois notes, hints of truffle and a …
