Tasting notes
Full ruby-red. Deep black cherry aroma conveys a chocolatey ripeness. A very sweet Clos Vougeot in a powerful, deep style, offering rich, fruit-driven flavors of black cherry and black raspberry. Fine-grained tannins dust the teeth. Impressively fat, ripe Clos Vougeot if a bit chunky for grand cru.

Mid crimson. Aroma begins with dark fruit but then becomes a bit woody/cedary. There’s sweetness of fruit but the dry tannins dominate the fruit, giving a chalk dry finish. Needs more flesh. Not sure how this will age. (JH)
