| Description: | 93-96 Jm / 93-95 Vm / 94 Bh / 17+jr. Ripe red purple colour, the nose hardly speaking yet. This is a big boy but in balance, with a sweet dark fruit, not quite sure if it goes all the way through. Quiet today but with lots of potential. Tasted: November 2019 Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy. The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru showed just a little reduction on the nose, but that blows away with modest swirling to reveal blackberries, raspberry coulis, touches of melted tar and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. It displays a fine crescendo in the mouth, until it reaches the effervescent finish. A tang of blood orange and brown spice lingers on the aftertaste.-- Neal Martin – Vinous Media Tasting note: A beautifully layered nose reluctantly offers up a pretty if brooding array of plum, spice, game, earth and soft oak nuances. The supple yet punchy and overtly powerful broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent density while delivering first-rate persistence on the sappy finish that really firms up as it sits on the palate. Impressive, ageworthy and a bit less austere at this early stage than usual. -Allen Meadows, Burghound |
