Chateau De La Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (750ML)
From Clos de Vougeot
Vintage: | 2016 |
---|---|
Description: | 95 Ws / 94 Vm / 91-94 Bh. An elegant red, with wild cherry, strawberry and boysenberry flavors that border on exotic. Solid tannins offer support and grip, while the fruit elements linger, joined by toasty oak, sandalwood and iron notes. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2023 through 2043. 173 cases imported. - Bs, Wine Spectator. The 2016 Clos de Vougeot is an exquisite wine. A burst of sweet red berry and floral notes make a strong opening statement. Delicate and lithe on the palate, the 2016 is such a sensual Burgundy. Clean mineral notes lend vibrancy throughout. I would prefer to cellar the 2016 for at least a few years to let the bright acids mellow a touch, but opening a bottle now is far from a crime. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. A ripe and very fresh nose offers up notes of maraschino cherry, plum, raspberry, spice and distinct floral wisps. There is excellent concentration to the succulent but quite powerful big-bodied flavors that possess a sleek mouthfeel thanks to the relatively refined tannins shaping the youthfully austere finish that flashes fine depth on the highly persistent finish. I like the balance and this should age effortlessly. - Allen Meadows, Burghound |
