"TĂȘte du Clos is a climat of Morgeot and this was aged in one-third new wood . . . . seems markedly ripe. There is excellent volume to the still very tight and youthfully intense middle weight flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract. There is a saline character to the balanced and strikingly persistent finish and the overall impression is one of brooding seriousness; as such, patience will undoubtedly be required."
