Tasting Notes

Classic Clos de Vougeot in every respect as this is austere, backward, earthy and intense yet blessed with stunning power and incredible richness plus a finish that etches itself into the palate and lasts for minutes. This is quite ripe with notes of coffee and even a hint of torrefaction yet the overall effect is one of brooding power and while it's not quite as structured as the Richebourg, it is every bit as complex with remarkably refined tannins. In short, this is an incredibly powerful and rich wine that offers superb delineation. Drink: 2020-45
