This is a fascinating wine of power and intensity yet without weight or heaviness and the usual youthful austerity of classic Clos de Vougeot is only a background element as the rich, full-bodied, sappy and highly complex flavors are underpinned by supple tannins that have none of the aggressivity of the typical '95 today. In fact, this is really quite forward and while it should hold for many years at this level, I don't see any further improvement potential. A great effort from what is undoubtedly the reference standard producer of this fabled grand cru. Tasted several times with consistent results.
