Clos de Vougeot, Domaine Tortochot 2006

Note: from a .21 ha parcel
A background trace of wood sets off reticent but pure and earth red, blue and violet aromas that are followed by wonderfully intense, dense and powerful broad-shouldered flavors that both coat and stain the palate on the long and youthfully austere finish. This is very much Cistercian in character and while impressive, this is one very serious wine where plenty of patience will again be required.
