Tasting notes
Deep red. Cool, reticent, classic Clos Vougeot scents of black cherry, licorice and herbs are accented by a peppery note. Fairly full and fine-grained but utterly unforthcoming, even impenetrable, in the early going. This very pure but youthfully musclebound wine finishes with hard-edged tannins that will require extended aging. Very difficult to taste, much less enjoy, today but I am confident that this wine will repay patience.

Bright red-ruby. Lively aromas of blackberry, licorice, violet pastille and crushed stone. Juicy, spicy dark berry flavors still show a trace of malic acidity but already deliver terrific unctuosity for the cru. Youthfully imploded but thick and stuffed with material, with the licorice quality carrying through in the mouth. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and very good energy. I like this.
