Estimate
There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the precise, muscular and powerful flavors that possess excellent size, weight and finishing punch on the youthfully austere, firm and huge finale that is borderline chewy.
...has a tightly wound bouquet with dark berry fruit, incense and a light melted-tar aroma. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy tannin and well-judged acidity.
Classic Clos de Vougeot aromas of dark cherry, licorice and minerals. Concentrated, spicy and sweet; surprisingly pliant in the middle palate for the cru and for the vintage but with lovely inner-mouth energy too.
Very rich and confident – perhaps the grandest wine I have tasted today – with real reverberance and massively nuanced fruit.
