"Classic Clos de Vougeot in every respect as this is austere, backward, earthy and intense yet blessed with stunning power and incredible richness plus a finish that etches itself into the palate and lasts for minutes. This is quite ripe . . . yet the overall effect is one of brooding power and . . . it is every bit as complex [as the Richebourg] with remarkably refined tannins. In short, this is an incredibly powerful and rich wine that offers superb delineation." Burghound.com, Jan 01, 2004 |
